Is the building well managed?
 

Are the service charges reasonable?
 

Is there enough money in the reserve fund?
 

Are major works likely?
 

Are there signs of poor management?
 

What questions should you ask before exchange?
 

Are you buying into a building that may become expensive or difficult to live in?
