Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit to any unit here, ask the agent or the management office about the basics. These include the tenure, the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and what facilities residents can use. View the unit in person if you can. Check the condition of the walls, ceilings, plumbing, wiring and windows, and look at the common areas, lifts and stairways. Try to visit at different times of day so you get a feel for noise, parking and the general upkeep of the building. If you are buying, check the title and confirm any restrictions with a lawyer. You should also confirm that there are no outstanding charges on the unit. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Be clear on the deposit, the length of the tenancy and who is responsible for repairs. Finally, plan your daily journeys yourself, so you know how the location fits your routine.
