Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or management office for the key details of the development. Useful points include: - Tenure: confirm whether the property is freehold or leasehold and, if leasehold, how many years remain. - Title: check whether a strata title has been issued and that the seller's name matches it. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the current monthly charges and whether there are any arrears on the unit. - Facilities: ask which common facilities are available and what condition they are in. - Unit condition: view the actual unit, check for leaks, wiring and fittings, and visit at different times of day to judge noise and traffic. - Utilities: confirm how water and electricity are billed. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully and record the unit's condition with photos before moving in. Buyers may wish to engage a lawyer to carry out title and loan checks.
