Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, whether it is freehold or leasehold, as this affects financing and long-term value. Ask for the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges and check whether any arrears are attached to the unit. Find out which facilities are available, and visit to see what condition they are in. Always view the unit in person. Check for leaks, the state of the windows and fittings, and the view and noise level at different times of day. For buyers, confirm the title status and check for any restrictions with your lawyer. For tenants, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Make sure it is clear who pays for repairs and utilities, and how the deposit will be returned.
