Feng Shui concerns for top floor condo

[Jack Teo]

Hi Master. My partner & I are considering buying a resale condo unit and have some questions that we hope you can help us with. 

1. Is it auspicious to buy a unit with water leakage from the ceiling (it is a top floor unit)? the agent shared that this happened 1 month ago and they are contacting the management to fix it.
2. How auspicious is it for the main door to face the staircase with door, about 1.5m to 2m apart?
3. Is it a concern if the owner of the unit has passed on a year ago (although the owner has not stayed in the property for many years but has been renting it out)?
4. Is it possible to use feng shui to help to counter the above concerns?
5. What are other things that we should look out for?

Thank you very much!

By law, it is the responsibility of the condo to repair any water leakages no matter how old the development is. 

A few years back. A client was looking also at a TOP floor unit for purchase. When we went into the unit, there was traces of leakage. The owner/occupier did not really wanted to mentioned more about.

We went up to the emergency stairwell and managed to see a water tank above the unit.

From what I believe one possible issue could be the water tank is bolted onto the roof-top. And most likely due to daily expansion and contraction the bolt(s) could have moved. And even if the roof is tar / or water proofed. It is possible due to wear and tear that the leak may occur regularly.

What is most concerned is that such leakages may damage what is down under. Such as parquet flooring may be damaged or electrical items around that area.

Again 100% the MCST must do the necessary repairs. Talk is easy. But may need time and damage may already been done.

How can this be auspicious? Hmm....

Anyway, by law all stair-well doors must be closed at all times. This is because if a fire occurs e.g. at a lower unit, smoke will not flow into the stair-well making it unsafe for people to use this emergency exit.

The development may be fined if this is not done. Also, the development is also responsible to make sure that the stair-well is not cluttered with some resident's items kept or thrown into it.

Frankly should not be a concern. As Feng Shui is about earth luck. If owner did not stay in the unit, no issue. 

Is it possible to use feng shui to help to counter the above concerns?

All these are not direct Feng Shui issues. How to counter?

It is so easy to write a one line statement like this. The question is too..... WOW!  How about first summarizing your life history in the same one liner?
