Thinking about moving to a condominium?
Here are a few issues that are important to keep in mind.
Fees: All associations have some sort of monthly fees. Always ask about their history of previous increases, as well as any upcoming special assessments.
Parking: How many cars can you park? Where is the parking? What about guest parking? Are there special parking arrangements for an occassional overnight guest?
Pets: Check to see if pets are allowed. If so, are there restrictions? Many condominium associations who do allow pets have size and breed restrictions. Also ask about walking your pet on the property. What about a "visiting" pet?
Maintenance: What does the association take care of? Typically, most condo owners rely on workers hired through the association to mantain the exterior of the home including painting, roof repairs, lawn care, snow removal, etc. Be sure to find out the specifics to avoid future headaches and unpleasant surprises.
