Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Whether you are buying or renting at AvéA, a few checks can save you trouble later: - Tenure and title: Ask whether the property is freehold or leasehold. Also check the title type and land status, as these can affect financing, resale and, for some serviced residences, utility rates. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: Confirm the current monthly charges and ask whether any increases are planned. - Facilities and rules: Ask the management what shared facilities are available, how parking is allocated, and whether there are rules on renovations, pets or short-term rentals. - The unit itself: View the actual unit, not just photos. Check for leaks, water pressure, wiring and the condition of fittings, and note the view and how much noise reaches the unit. - For tenants: Read the tenancy agreement carefully, agree on the deposit amounts in writing, and record the condition of the unit with photos when you move in.
