About Samsuria Resort

Samsuria Resort is a condominium development in the Sungai Karang locality of Balok. Although the name includes the word 'Resort', it is listed in our directory as a residential condominium, so it is best treated as a place to live rather than a holiday property. Condominiums in Malaysia usually have shared common areas and a management office that looks after the building. However, what is provided can differ a lot from one development to another. If you are thinking of moving to the Kuantan side of Pahang and prefer apartment-style living to a landed house, Samsuria Resort is one option to look at alongside others in the area.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the details that matter to your decision. Check the tenure and confirm whether the unit has an individual strata title, since this affects financing and resale. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and the sinking fund, and whether any payments are outstanding on the unit you are considering. Find out which facilities are available and in working order, and ask about house rules on renovation, parking and pets. Always view the unit in person. Look for signs of leaks, damp or wear, and test the water pressure, windows and fittings. Buyers should have a lawyer run a title search before signing anything. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit amounts and keep a written inventory and photos of the unit's condition on move-in day.
