Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about tenure and title type, and whether the strata title has been issued. These affect financing and resale. Ask for the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and check whether the unit has any unpaid arrears. Confirm which facilities are available and how well they are kept up. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day. Check for noise, natural light, ventilation and any signs of leaks or damp. Walk around the building and common areas to judge upkeep, parking and security. If you are buying, have a lawyer carry out a land search and review the sale and purchase documents. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and photograph the unit's condition before moving in. Agree in writing on deposits and who pays for repairs.
