    Default Monthly Mainteinance fee or condo..

    how does it calculate?

    average fee nowadays? eg. is it $400-500 range?

    is it true you pay more when your condo get > 10 yr old due to increase in repairing etc?

    I think it's a split among all the units in the whole development. Not sure how they get the whole figure though. Does this increase over the years?

    main factor is how many units there are. More units = less maintenance.

    Look out for apartments with <100 units, some can be as high as 1K

    I think you mean:
    More units = More maintenance?

    Although it is true that more units usually = less maintenance fee per unit, but there is a threshold, above which more units become like public housing, and more units = more maintenance which can't keep up with the down rate. Imagine your private lift not working and you live on the 50th floor?

    Conclusion:
    - Too few units = high maintenance fee (usually <100 units got such problem).
    - Too many units = too much down time, still can have high maintenance fee since to reduce down time must pay extra for speedier work, + more money for "you know who" to "eat" away hence high maintenance fee too.

    Even 5rm HDB maintenance fee also more expensive than that if you have a sheltered car park space!

    Got but surely means condo/aptm with little or no facilities. Definitely no lifts - so its the low-rise.

    Usually those with less than 100 units are those apt kind with very few facilities incluse a small pool, small function room and small gym. So should be not too high right?
