Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent, owner or management office to confirm the key details in writing. Check the tenure. If the title is leasehold, find out how many years remain. Ask about the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and how parking is allocated. Always view the unit in person. Look at the walls, ceilings, windows, wiring and plumbing, and check shared areas such as corridors and stairways. Buyers should have a lawyer carry out a land search and confirm the title status and any restrictions before signing. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, record the condition of the unit with photos and agree on who handles repairs.
