About 1 Residence

1 Residence is a condominium development in the Kampung Cherang area of Kota Bharu. It is listed in our Kelantan development directory under Kota Bharu, alongside other condominium and serviced residence projects in the city. Condominiums in Malaysia are generally strata properties, where owners hold their own unit and share the common areas with other residents. The building's management usually looks after those shared spaces. If you are weighing up a condominium against a landed home in Kota Bharu, it helps to think about how you feel about shared living, monthly charges and building rules. Each of these differs from one project to another.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the building management for the key details. These include the tenure (freehold or leasehold), the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and which facilities are available and working. View the actual unit rather than relying on photos. Check the condition of the walls, ceilings, windows, plumbing and wiring, and look at the common areas, lifts and car parks too. If you are buying, check the title and confirm whether a strata title has been issued. Ask whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit, and have a lawyer review the documents. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Confirm what furniture and appliances are included, who pays for repairs, and the terms for the deposit and notice period.
