Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the details that matter most to you: • Tenure: confirm whether the property is freehold or leasehold and, if leasehold, how many years remain. • Fees: ask about monthly maintenance fees and the sinking fund, and whether any payments are in arrears. • Facilities: find out what is provided and whether it is in working order. • Title: check whether an individual strata title has been issued. Have a lawyer verify ownership and any restrictions. • The unit itself: view it in person, ideally at different times of day. Check water pressure, wiring, signs of leaks and parking arrangements. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Be clear on the deposit amounts, what furniture is included and who handles repairs. Comparing a few units here and in nearby developments will give you a clearer sense of fair value.
