Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. For buyers, confirm the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and check the title type and status, as this affects financing and resale. Ask for the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether any increases are planned. Find out which facilities are available to residents and whether they are in working order. Ask about parking allocation, security arrangements and house rules, especially if you plan to rent the unit out or keep pets. Always view the unit in person. Check for water stains, damp, cracks and the condition of windows, plumbing and wiring. Visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise, traffic and light. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs. Buyers may also want a lawyer to review the sale and purchase agreement.
