Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent, owner or building management a few practical questions. Confirm the tenure of the property, whether freehold or leasehold, and if leasehold, how many years remain. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are well kept. Always view the unit in person, check its condition, and look at the common areas, lifts and parking. Buyers should check the title and confirm the seller's ownership, ideally with the help of a lawyer. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs.
