Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the building management for the key details. Confirm the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and, for leasehold, how many years remain. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and whether there are any outstanding arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. Ask about parking, lift service, security arrangements and how the building is managed. Always view the unit in person. Check water pressure, signs of leaks or damp, wiring and the condition of doors and windows. Visiting at different times of day gives a feel for noise and traffic. If you are buying, check the title status and confirm the seller's ownership through your lawyer. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree in writing on the deposit, repairs and what furniture is included.
