Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the building management to confirm the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, and how many years remain on a leasehold title. Ask for the current monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and whether there are any outstanding arrears on the unit. Request a list of facilities and check which are in working order and whether any carry extra fees. Always view the unit in person: look for leaks, damp, faulty wiring and worn fittings, and note the condition of the common areas and lifts. Buyers should have a lawyer check the title and strata status, while tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs.
