Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit to a unit at Flamingo Series, ask the agent, owner or management office for the details that matter most to you. Confirm the tenure, check the title and find out whether the unit has an individual strata title. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether any fees are outstanding. Ask which facilities are available and view them yourself. Visit the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, light, ventilation and parking. Check the condition of the lifts, corridors and common areas. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree on the deposit, the length of the tenancy and who pays for repairs. If you are buying, a lawyer can carry out a title search for you.
