Inspect balcony falls, drains, thresholds, membranes, façade joints and repair responsibility before buying a condo.
A balcony can send water into more than one unit
Inspect surface falls, ponding, drain size and blockage, door thresholds, tile cracks, sealant, façade junctions, rail fixings and staining below. Where permitted, use a controlled water test and moisture readings with the juristic office or qualified inspector present. Ask for leak complaints, past repairs, waterproofing specifications, warranties and planned façade work.
Confirm the legal boundary between unit and common property, access rights and who approves and pays for repairs. Price the risk of disruption and special assessment before reservation. Read the window and façade leak guide, condo financial-health checklist and buyer service.

Fact check
Leak sources, waterproofing systems, common-property boundaries, testing permissions, warranties, insurance and repair costs are building- and date-specific. Use current records and qualified advice.
Compare properties before you buy
Start with the location and buying goal. Compare handover dates, ownership options and payment terms; confirm the current price and availability for the selected unit.
