St. John's Condominiums (condos): Owner has a deed for unit, has
a separate mortgage, pays property tax on the unit plus a percentage
of the common areas and pays a monthly maintenance fee. A board of
directors governs the complex with the owner having one vote. The
condo owner has a fee simple absolute unrestricted ownership and is
individually responsible for property taxes and maintenance fees.
Use the sales price of condominiums with similar size, appeal, age,
neighborhood in St. John's, incurring similar maintenance fees, etc.
to determine market value. No heat and lights to be included with
most condo's there are still a few that offer this but expect to pay
upwards of $360.00 month in condo fees.
Mostly common area's (hallways) have heat and lights to be included.
Ask owners in the complex what they like and dislike about both the
unit and the complex. How good is the sound proofing? End units and
upper units generally sell for more when sound comes into play. How
is its location in the complex? Is it near downtown St. John's or
will you have to commute? Next to an access street, parking facility,
pool? Look for units that are not adversely affected by these. Stay
away from predominantly rental condo complexes in St. John's, those
having more occupants that are renters. They are often poorly maintained
as absentee owners usually vote against improvements and increases
in maintenance fees. When buying condos in St. John's, it is always
good to ask lots of questions.
