Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the building management about the tenure and the type of title for the unit, as this affects long-term value and financing. Check the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and ask whether any increases are planned. Find out which facilities are available to residents and whether any of them carry extra charges. Always view the unit in person: look at the condition of fittings, signs of leaks or damp, natural light and the view. If you are buying, get a lawyer to check the title, any outstanding charges and the sale and purchase terms. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit, notice period and who pays for repairs. It also helps to ask current residents about their experience of living in the building.
