Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. Get them in writing where you can. Useful points to cover include: - Tenure: confirm whether the property is freehold or leasehold. If it is leasehold, ask how many years remain. - Title: check whether individual strata titles have been issued, as this affects the buying process and financing. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the current monthly charges and whether the unit has any arrears. - Facilities: find out what is provided and whether it is in working order. - Unit condition: view the unit in person, check for leaks, damp and wear, and test the fittings. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Pay attention to the deposit terms and who pays for repairs.
