Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities residents can actually use. View the unit in person and check for damp, water pressure, the condition of fittings and how much natural light it gets. Look at the common areas too, such as lifts, corridors and parking. They show you how well the building is looked after. If you are buying, check the title and confirm who owns the unit. A lawyer can advise on any restrictions or outstanding charges. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs.
