Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the details that matter most. These include the tenure (freehold or leasehold), the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and which facilities are available and in working order. Also ask about parking and any house rules. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check natural light, noise and the condition of fittings. If you are buying, check the title and ask whether a strata title has been issued. Have your lawyer confirm any restrictions or outstanding charges. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Look at the deposit, the length of the tenancy and who pays for repairs. Comparing a few listings in the same area will also help you judge whether an asking price or rent is fair.
