Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities are available and in working order. If you are buying, check the title type and status with your lawyer. Confirm the unit size against the official documents rather than the advert. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to get a feel for noise, natural light and parking. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, note the deposit terms and record the condition of the unit when moving in. It also helps to compare a few listings in the same building and in nearby developments before deciding.
