Friend still looking for property in Cork. Came across an apartment block where the owners are the management company. Are there any disadvantages to this? Centrally located apartment, but friend feels that may be the apartment has been reduced significantly due to the fact that it is owner managed. Only 24 units. Secure parking. Aparmtment a little dated, but only cosmetic work. Really appreciate some opinions on owner managed blocks. Also two of the ground floor aparmtments have applied for commercial use. Is this an adantage/disadvantage? Thanks. Elainem.
