Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you buy or rent at Desa Melor, ask the agent or the management office for the key details and get them in writing. Points to cover include: - Tenure: confirm whether the title is freehold or leasehold. If it is leasehold, ask how many years remain. - Title: check whether individual strata title has been issued and that the seller's name matches the title. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the current monthly charges and whether the unit has any arrears. - Facilities: ask which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. - The unit itself: view it in person and check for leaks, water pressure, wiring and the condition of fittings. Visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise and parking. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs. Comparing a few units here and in the nearby developments listed above will give you a clearer idea of fair prices and rents.
