Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office to confirm the tenure (freehold or leasehold), the current maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities are available to residents. For serviced residences in Malaysia, it is also worth asking whether the land is zoned commercial, as this can affect quit rent, assessment and utility charges. View the actual unit, not just photos, and check the condition of fittings, signs of water leaks and how much natural light comes in. Visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise and traffic. Buyers should check the title and any restrictions with a lawyer. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully and confirm what furniture, parking and access cards are included.
