Inspect fixings, corrosion, movement, glazing, drainage and repair responsibility before buying a coastal condo.
A sea-view railing is part of the risk file
Inspect rails, posts, glass, anchors, sealants and slab edges for corrosion, cracks, movement, missing parts and previous patching. Compare the unit with approved plans, condominium rules, maintenance records, incident reports and planned façade works. Do not lean on or load a suspect barrier during a viewing.
Establish whether each component is private or common property and who approves access, design and repair. Ask a qualified specialist to assess condition and suitable testing. Read the window and façade guide, condo finances and buyer service.
