Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you buy or rent at Bangunan Forlong, ask the agent or the building's management about: - Tenure: whether the land is freehold or leasehold, and if leasehold, how many years remain. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: the monthly amounts and whether payments for the unit are up to date. - Facilities: what is available to residents and whether it is in working order. - Parking: how many bays come with the unit and how visitor parking works. Always view the unit in person. Check walls, ceilings, windows, plumbing and wiring for leaks or damage, and look at the lifts, corridors and other common areas, as these show how well the building is managed. If you are buying, check the title type and status, and whether there are any restrictions or charges on the property. A lawyer can help you with this. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit terms, and take photos of the unit's condition when you move in.
