Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the current maintenance fees and sinking fund, and the facilities that come with the development. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check natural light, noise, ventilation and the condition of the fittings. Look at the common areas, lifts and car parks too, because these show how well the building is managed. Buyers should check the title type, find out whether the strata title has been issued and confirm there are no outstanding charges on the unit. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully and note who pays for repairs and utilities. Take photos to record the unit's condition before moving in.
