Ottignies-LLN pitfall to avoid

Artificially low co-ownership charges.

Developers often propose very low working-capital charges at delivery to make the project attractive. Request a 5-year projection including major-maintenance provisioning (roof, lift, façade). In LLN, some co-ownerships have seen their charges double in 3 years due to inadequate reserves.
