Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you buy, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure and check the title. This affects financing, resale and how long the lease runs. Ask for the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are provided and how well they are kept up. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day. Look at the water pressure, wiring, windows, signs of leaks, lift condition and parking arrangements. Walk around the block and the surrounding streets to get a feel for noise, cleanliness and access. Tenants should confirm what furniture and appliances are included, how utilities are paid, and the terms for the deposit and renewal. Buyers should check the price against recent comparable transactions and get a lawyer to review the paperwork before signing.
