Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and which facilities are available to residents. Always view the unit in person. Check the condition of the walls, ceilings, plumbing and wiring, and look at the shared areas such as lifts, corridors and parking. If you are buying, have your lawyer check the title and confirm there are no outstanding charges on the unit. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree in writing which furniture and appliances come with the unit. Visiting at different times of day will also give you a feel for noise and traffic around the development.
