Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you sign anything, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. Check the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and, for leasehold, how many years remain. Ask about the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Confirm which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. Always view the unit in person, checking for leaks, damp, wiring and the condition of fittings. For buyers, confirm the title status (individual strata title or master title) and get your lawyer to carry out a search. For tenants, read the tenancy agreement carefully, especially the deposit terms, who pays for repairs and the notice period.
