Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, whether the property is freehold or leasehold. Also ask about the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and which facilities are available to residents. Buyers should check the title and confirm that the seller can transfer it without issues. A lawyer can help with this. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, light and parking. Look at the condition of the common areas, lifts and corridors, as these show how well the building is maintained. Drive or walk the route to your workplace or your children's school to see how long the trip takes in practice. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit amounts and note which furnishings are included. Record the unit's condition with photos when you move in.
