Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing to any unit at Desa Dua, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. Confirm the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, and check the title and its status, including whether an individual or strata title has been issued. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and the sinking fund, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Find out which facilities are available to residents and what condition they are in. Always view the unit in person. Check for damp, cracks, water pressure, wiring and the condition of fittings, and look at the common areas, lifts and parking arrangements. If you are buying, have a lawyer review the sale and purchase documents. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, agree in writing on the deposits and who pays for repairs, and record the condition of the unit with photos when you move in.
