Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and which facilities are available to residents. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check noise, natural light, ventilation and the condition of fittings. Look at the common areas, lifts and parking, as these give a good sense of how well the building is kept. If you are buying, check the title and any restrictions with a lawyer, and confirm there are no outstanding charges on the unit. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree in writing on the deposit, the inventory and who handles repairs.
