What to request
Ask for the current maintenance methodology or estimate, what services are covered, whether a maintenance advance or corpus is collected, and how the billing basis is determined.
Luxury-service trade-off
Pools, landscaping, security, club facilities, elevators, common-area lighting and other services all have operating costs. A buyer should understand what level of service is expected and how it is funded.
Compare carefully
When comparing projects, put recurring charges into the same worksheet. A project with more shared amenities may have a different operating profile from a smaller development.
Ask about future revisions
Clarify whether charges can be revised and who manages the common areas after handover. Do not assume today’s indicative figure is fixed for the entire ownership period.
Useful conclusion
Treat maintenance as part of the long-term ownership budget, not an afterthought after the booking.
