Guys, I am in need of some opinions. Currently I am looking at a subsale condo which ticks all my checkbox, there are only 2 concerns preventing me from signing the booking form immediately.

1) There is a long hairline crack on the ceiling in the living room, which goes through the lighting and the ceiling fan, as if its following the wiring beneath, picture below which I found on the web is a good illustration of it, excepts its much longer. Its only on the ceiling and does not extend until the wall.


2) 1 of the bathroom used to have water leakage yellowish stain at the ceiling, apparently owner are aware of it and informed the management as well, I am being told that the problem is fixed by unit above and the stain has been removed and repainted as well, a week has passed and I revisited the unit and noticed that there is a "bubble" forming at the bathroom ceiling, albeit without any yellowish stain.


I really liked the unit and would like to get it for my own stay, I don't mind forking out some money to fix all the problems but still would like to get some opinions whether they are some underlying serious problem with the issues above.

Thanks guys for the insight, I really appreciate it.

Since the unit above is occupied, there will probably be continuous usage of water, if the problem persists, the leakage stain would probably resurface.
I guess I'll hold off the purchase for the time being and tell the seller I would view the unit again in 2-3 weeks, just to make sure the problem is being taken care of. Normally how long should we monitor to determine whether the issue persists? 1 month from the repair period or much longer?

You can get someone to evaluate.
