Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. Confirm the tenure and check the title, including whether an individual strata title has been issued. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and in working order, and what the house rules are on renovation, pets and parking. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check noise, natural light, water pressure and the condition of fittings. Walk around the common areas to see how well the building is kept. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, note what furniture is included and agree on the deposit terms in writing. If you are buying, have a lawyer carry out the usual searches before you sign.
