Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you buy or rent, ask the agent or the management office about: - Tenure: whether the land is freehold or leasehold, and how many years are left on any lease. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether they are paid up for the unit. - Facilities: what is provided and what condition it is in. - Parking: how many bays come with the unit. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check noise, natural light and ventilation. Buyers should have a lawyer check the title and any restrictions. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs.
