Use the same criteria for every shortlisted condo so that a strong ocean view, larger terrace or impressive amenity package does not hide practical differences in condition, ownership cost or layout quality.

Verify the documentation against the physical unit
If parking, storage, furnishings, appliances or terrace rights are part of the purchase decision, confirm that they are clearly identified in the applicable transaction documentation. Do not rely only on listing photographs or verbal descriptions.
For resale units, ask about prior repairs, appliance age, air-conditioning servicing, moisture history and recent condominium work. For newer properties, review specifications, warranties, delivery conditions and procedures for reporting defects.
Budget for occupancy, not just acquisition
- Closing and professional expenses
- Additional furniture for the second bedroom
- Window treatments and terrace furniture
- Air-conditioning maintenance for additional rooms
- Insurance not included through the condominium
- Potential assessments or near-term repairs
Larger layouts may also involve higher utility use and more furniture to maintain, so compare ongoing ownership costs together with the purchase price.
Create a room-by-room condition scorecard
Record the condition of each bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living area and terrace using the same categories. Note finishes, fixtures, outlets, doors, windows, air-conditioning, closets and visible signs of moisture or wear.
Any repair expected soon should be estimated and added to the effective acquisition cost before two properties are compared.
