{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Collect evidence that can be checked independently: current documents, dated photographs, inspection findings, invoices, service records, maps, management accounts and written answers from the responsible party. Separate verified facts from estimates, marketing language and matters that still require professional advice. Relevant category details include: Shortlisting guidance for villas, condominiums, new builds, resales, plots, layouts, views, privacy and everyday usability. A useful assessment starts with the intended use: full-time living, retirement, holidays, rental, renovation or long-term investment. The same feature can be an advantage for one buyer and an ongoing cost or management burden for another. Review who owns and manages the shared roads, pool, security, gardens, gym or clubhouse. Ask for the rules, annual budget, reserve fund, insurance, maintenance history, fee arrears and owner voting rights. Confirm whether facilities can be closed, changed or used by rental guests. Apply the checks to the actual property, intended use and written responsibilities rather than relying on the category label alone. Create a written checklist for the exact property, compare evidence rather than marketing language, and keep legal, tax, structural and financial checks with appropriately qualified independent professionals.","answer_source":"deterministic_grounded_fallback","category":"Property Types & Buyer Planning","category_slug":"buyer-planning","confidence":"grounded_in_approved_property_guide_context","conversation_depth":0,"conversation_followup_type":"","conversation_parent_slug":"","conversation_reason":"","conversation_root_slug":"","created_at":"2026-08-26T19:24:20+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-08-27","display_date":"2026-08-27","drip_batch":"2026-08-27","drip_status":"daily_auto_published","freshness_warning":"Property prices, availability, construction progress, rental rules and legal requirements can change.
