However good quality also cannot stand lack of maintenance, plants removal from rooftop, waterproofing renewal, pipe sealing fail cos corrosion

My house top floor. Ceiling not hot (maybe because have solar panel)

Ceiling no leak , very windy , wait for lift not an issue , unblocked view .

issues I occasionally faced are lizards and teenagers at staircase smoking or do hanky panky stuff.

Given a choice again I will choose top floor, the higher ceiling height is good


maybe because new. but 20 years liao some water issues might come?
