Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the tenure and check the title yourself. Serviced residences in Malaysia are sometimes built on commercial land, which can affect utility tariffs, loan terms and quit rent, so ask which applies to this building. Find out the current maintenance fee and sinking fund rate, and ask whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Ask which facilities are available and whether they are in good working order. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check for noise, natural light, water pressure and signs of leaks. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit amounts and note which furniture and appliances are included. Also ask about the building's house rules, such as those on renovation, parking and visitors.
