Overview to Condos

This page discusses condos in Western Visayas Region, which is found in the Philippines. A condo, or condominium, unit is a demarcated residential section within a larger structure. Technically, the difference between a condo unit and a unit classified as apartment is one of ownership organization, but in practice the contrast is one of quality. A condominium unit is usually expected to have more grandiose shared amenities and a higher quality of construction.

Condos For Sale or For Rent

A condo unit may be offered either for sale or for rent in either a furnished or unfurnished condition. It is undeniable that in this respect condos do not vary significantly from houses, townhouses or apartments. The number of bedrooms, other rooms, and furnishings such as furniture and fixtures must be described. Lease terms are commonly no significantly different than for detached dwellings. However, unlike stand-alone houses, condos usually require a monthly maintenance fee covering building maintenance, cleaning of common areas, garbage consolidation, etc.

Condos and Finishing

Only few first-time buyers are aware that condos may be finished or unfinished. The purchase of a condo may only entitle the buyer to a three-dimensional space within a structure, so a condo may be completely unfinished, lacking dividing walls, a ceiling, or even electrical wiring. The condo unit may be in unfinished condition even if the rest of the building consists of mostly finished units, and if common areas such as hallways have been finished. The onus is on the owner of the unfinished condominium unit to contract a building crew and develop the unit, with walls, a tiled or parqueted floor, ceilings, wiring, plumbing, wall paint, and so on.

Condominium Unit Furnishings

A condo unit, usually a condominium unit for rent, may be offered in a furnished condition. Depending on the amount of furnishings, the condo unit may be described as either unfurnished (in other words, "bare"), semi-furnished, or fully-furnished. The primary variation between a condo unit and a house + lot in this regard is that condo furnishings do not include garden fixtures. All other fixtures, including furniture (such as cabinets), appliances (such as air conditioners) and other furnishings (such as crockery) may be a component of the transaction.
