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.
