About City of Dreams

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or management office to confirm the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold. Ask about the current maintenance fees and sinking fund. Get a list of facilities and see them in person. View the unit itself at different times of day to judge light, noise and views. If you are buying, ask your lawyer to check the title type and any restrictions. Also ask whether the land is residential or commercial, as this can affect utility rates and financing. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Check which furniture and appliances are included, and agree on how repairs will be handled. Compare a few listings in this development and in nearby ones before you decide.
