Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the building management for the tenure, the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and the list of facilities that are actually in use. If you are buying, check the title and its status, and ask whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, so you can judge noise, light and parking for yourself. Look at the condition of common areas, as this often reflects how well the building is managed. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit amounts, and agree in writing on which furniture and appliances are included.
