Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit to a unit, ask the agent, owner or building management a few practical questions: - Tenure: find out whether the land is freehold or leasehold, and how many years remain on a lease. - Title: check that the strata title has been issued and is in the seller's name, and ask a lawyer to run a title search. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the current rates and whether there are any arrears on the unit. - Facilities: confirm what is available and that it is in working order. - Condition: view the unit in person. Look for leaks, damp and wear, and check the lifts and common areas. - Rules: ask about parking allocation, pet policies and short-term rental rules. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully. Agree on the deposit and on who pays for repairs and utilities before signing.
