Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or management office to confirm the tenure, because freehold and leasehold titles affect long-term value and financing. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges. Find out which facilities are available to residents and whether any of them carry extra fees. View the actual unit rather than relying on photos. Check the condition of the fittings, look for signs of leaks and note the state of common areas such as lifts and corridors. Buyers should check whether the strata title has been issued, or ask about its status, and confirm that there are no outstanding charges on the unit. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms, who handles repairs and any house rules set by management. Finally, compare asking prices or rents with similar listings in Gelang Patah so you know whether an offer is reasonable.
