{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Since reserve funds matter more than size for lock-up scenarios, start with the latest financials and the reserve (sinking fund) plan. Ask the condo or juristic person for the most recent annual financial statements, the detailed reserve study, and a long-range maintenance schedule that lists planned works and estimated costs. Compare the current reserve balance with projected major repairs to see how many years of funded work your fees cover under current assumptions. Review recent owners\u2019 meeting minutes for disclosures about upcoming projects, levies or fee changes, and whether major repairs are already contracted or under warranty. Clarify how contributions are structured (fixed vs. inflation-adjusted) and when big projects are due. If anything looks uncertain, hire an independent professional such as a condo-management advisor or a local quantity surveyor to provide a written assessment. Use a checklist so that premium finishes or a nice view don\u2019t mask underlying financial risk in the ownership structure.","answer_source":"openai_conversational_breadcrumb","category":"Property Types & Buyer Planning","category_slug":"buyer-planning","confidence":"grounded_in_approved_property_guide_context","conversation_depth":1,"conversation_followup_type":"evidence","conversation_parent_slug":"what-makes-a-condominium-suitable-for-lock-up-and-leave-ownership","conversation_reason":"Directly follows the emphasis on reserve funds and maintenance quality, asking for concrete documents and independent verification.","conversation_root_slug":"what-makes-a-condominium-suitable-for-lock-up-and-leave-ownership","created_at":"2026-10-08T19:48:24+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-10-09","display_date":"2026-10-09","drip_batch":"2026-10-09","drip_status":"daily_auto_published","freshness_warning":"Property prices, availability, construction progress, rental rules, development policies and legal requirements can change.
