Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details, and get them in writing where possible: - Tenure: whether the unit is freehold or leasehold, and if leasehold, how many years remain. - Charges: the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. - Facilities: what is available to residents and whether it is in working order. - Parking: the arrangements for residents and visitors. - Title: whether the unit has a strata title, and that the seller is the registered owner. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check noise, natural light, ventilation and any signs of leaks or damp. Look at the condition of the common areas, as this shows how well the building is maintained. If you are renting, confirm what is included, such as furniture and appliances, and set out the deposit terms clearly in the tenancy agreement.
