Is A/C ledge included in the total floor area in condominiums? If so, it will be another unusable space just like planter...:doh:

Take your highlighter and colour in Red for air-con ledge, Orange for planter, and Yellow for balcony, bay-windows.

Red = No value, Orange = 25-35% value and Yellow = 50-65% value.

Your 'liveable' space is less and your're actually paying more PSF.

Balcony, planter boxes and bay windows etc can make a home a more enjoyable home if overall it increases the different spaces to enjoy. So I will look at it as a whole package if it suits me and see if the price is right. Aircon ledge is quite standard but see if the positioning will affect your view, noise and heat, and therefore the overall feel of a lovely and warm home.

if you got green fingers i understand the planter bit, but for bay window, the protrusion is really unnecessary and wasted, especially when developers overdo it in condos like lincoln suites. Balconies are ok if they are of the right size and not like those in aristo. building huge aircon ledges is really a rip off to the buyer. i have seen tiny mickey mouse units with huge aircon ledges, really funny to see sometimes, owners already dying for space inside and the space is wasted on the huge aircon ledge :doh:

Some air-con ledges are accessible and can be used as yard to dry clothes.

Should consider very carefully on the size of the air-conditionted ledge when buying a unit. Why pay so much for it!

for the strata house, carpark lots are included as part of the built in, the staircase as well.

For those with double volume, the air space is counted to the built in strata. I think, this is the worst among all

Same goes to penthouses but they are usually compensated by lower psf. It carries a different status as well but u got to pay for it. Life is not always unfair
