Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure of the land and whether the unit has its own strata title. Check the title documents with your lawyer. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and the sinking fund, and whether any payments are overdue on the unit you are looking at. Find out which facilities are available to residents and how car parking is allocated. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check light, noise and general condition. Look at the common areas too, such as the lifts, corridors and car park, as these show how well the building is kept. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and confirm the deposit amounts, what furniture is included and who handles repairs. It is also worth spending some time in the neighbourhood to see if it suits your daily routine.
