Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before buying, ask the agent or seller to confirm the tenure and whether an individual strata title has been issued. Have your lawyer check the title and any encumbrances. Ask the management office about the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. If facilities matter to you, look at them in person and ask how they are maintained and booked. Check the parking bay allocation and any rules on renovation. Always view the actual unit, not just a show unit or photos. Look for water stains, cracks, the condition of fittings and how much natural light the unit gets. For tenants, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Confirm the deposit amounts, who pays utilities and maintenance, the notice period and what furnishings are included.
