Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you make a decision, ask the agent or building management about the tenure and the type of title, and check the title yourself or with a lawyer. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund contributions, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and whether any are under repair. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, so you can judge noise, light and parking. If you are renting, confirm the deposit terms, what furniture and appliances are included, and who pays for utilities. It is also worth trying your daily commute from the area before you commit.
