About Platino Condominium

Platino Condominium, also known simply as Platino, is a condominium in the Jelutong area of Penang.

That usually means paying regular charges for upkeep and following house rules set by the management.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you make an offer or sign a tenancy, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. Confirm the tenure and the type of title, and check whether the individual strata title has been issued. Ask about the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check noise, natural light, ventilation and any signs of leaks or damp. Look at the condition of lifts, corridors and car parks, as these reflect how well the building is managed. Tenants should ask about house rules, access cards and parking arrangements. Buyers may want a lawyer to review the title and sale documents.
