Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you buy, ask the agent or the management office about tenure, and check the title type and whether an individual or strata title has been issued. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out what facilities are available and how well they are kept, and ask about parking and security arrangements. Always view the unit in person. Check for leaks, wiring and the condition of fittings, and visit at different times of day to get a sense of noise, traffic and parking. If you are renting, confirm what furniture and appliances are included, the deposit terms and who handles repairs. Comparing GL Garden with nearby developments such as Taman Lone Pine or Julita Apartment can also help you judge whether an asking price or rent is fair.
