Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details and check them yourself. - Tenure and title: confirm whether the property is freehold or leasehold and, if leasehold, how many years remain. Check whether an individual strata title has been issued, as this affects how quickly a sale or loan can go through. - Monthly charges: ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund, and whether any increases are planned. - Facilities and upkeep: ask which facilities are available and look at how well the common areas are kept. - The unit itself: view it in person, ideally at different times of day, to check noise, light, ventilation and any signs of leaks. - Parking and access: confirm how many parking bays come with the unit. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, agree an inventory of furniture and fittings, and be clear about the deposit terms. It also helps to compare listings at nearby developments, such as those named above, to get a sense of the options in Tanjung Tokong.
