Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. These include the tenure, the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities are available and in working order. Ask about parking arrangements and any house rules that may affect you, such as rules on renovations or pets. If you are buying, check the title and the ownership details with your lawyer before signing anything. Ask whether there are outstanding maintenance charges on the unit. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day. Look for signs of leaks or damp, test the water pressure and switches, and check the condition of the windows, doors and common areas. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Be clear on the deposit, the length of the tenancy and who pays for repairs. Comparing several listings in Pulau Tikus will help you judge whether an asking price or rent is fair.
