What is the importance of maintenance of the complex after buying an apartment?
11.02.2024
Maintaining the complex after purchasing an apartment is crucial for preserving its appeal and functionality. While we often prioritize aspects like the inner yard, infrastructure, and greenery during the purchase, it's essential to consider who is responsible for maintaining these communal spaces.
Beyond just the four walls of our apartment, the surrounding environment holds significance. Therefore, it's wise to ask questions beforehand to ensure a clear understanding of how the infrastructure will be maintained. This aspect is equally important.
The services required in our neighborhood can be categorized into several main groups:
Essential services - such as security, fire systems, and elevator maintenance - are typically provided by the developer during the operation of the apartment. In multi-apartment complexes, having water pumps and a reliable electricity source, including a backup generator, is also crucial to ensure continuous service availability.
Convenience services vary based on resident preferences, but certain basic conditions should be considered, including the maintenance of entrances and the management of utility bills for common areas. It's beneficial if the development company offers upfront information about these conditions.
Maintaining the appearance of the courtyard requires ongoing care and supervision, which involves hiring both cleaners and gardeners to ensure the plants remain in their original condition.
For luxury amenities, resident preferences play a significant role. This might include installing access systems, cameras for security, and monitoring services for indoor areas and parking lots. Concierge services are also available upon request.
However, it's important to note that these services come with additional costs, and managing them can be challenging. Therefore, it's advisable to inquire about these services and their associated costs when purchasing an apartment.
White Square can handle the organization of these services, alleviating unnecessary worries, and detailed information will be provided in the contract.
