Ah I’m not too concern about the water pressure, I can just a booster pump right?

Not a problem. Condos (even rumaweep like mine) pressurise the water, i'm very close to top floor and the pressure is strong enough to burst hoses if main valve kept wide open.

Currently considering to purchase a brand new top floor condo for own stay.
At 46th floor, with full seaview which my wife loves. Only concerns are on the potential top floor problems - roof leaking & potentially high temp due to the full sun exposure on the top floor.

Here are some of the questions we have in mind,

The developer is a well established company and so we’re hoping that the leaking problem could be minimised?

Secondly, directly above the unit is also where the water tank is. Not if it helps to block away some heat? Or it will become a heat tank slowly releasing heat thru out the night?

Thirdly, the unit is close to the sea, so it’s naturally windy. Not sure if it helps in blowing away at the heat.

Would appreciate it if anyone with the experience on top floor living could provide some insights. Thank you so much in advanced!!😊

Tank above might have some water filling noise. But as long as ur faraway from the M&E room/pump itself it is not that annoying. Ur unit shaded by tank will be cool, water itself can absorb all the heat (all the 4.2 J formula things eg soaking a metal pot in water can cool down drinks in no time) and water leak is JMC maintained.
