Cambodia's co-ownership framework is seventeen years old, which means Phnom Penh's condominium stock now has an operating history a buyer can actually read. Service charge collection rates, internal regulations, sinking fund position, and the 70 percent foreign ownership ceiling all become verifiable facts at resale.
