Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for key details. These include the tenure (freehold or leasehold), the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and the facilities available to residents. View the actual unit rather than relying only on photos, and check its condition, layout, ventilation and natural light. If you are buying, confirm the title type and whether the title has been issued. Ask a lawyer to carry out the usual searches, and check whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, note the deposit terms and record the condition of the unit before you move in.
