Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the basic details of the development. These include the tenure (freehold or leasehold), the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities are available to residents and how well they are kept. View the unit in person if you can. Check its condition, natural light, ventilation and any signs of water leaks, and visit at different times of day to get a sense of noise and traffic. Take a look at the common areas, lifts and car park too. If you are buying, check the title status and confirm the details with a lawyer before you sign. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree in writing which furniture and appliances are included. Comparing a few units in Mahsuri Square and nearby developments will help you judge whether an asking price or rent is fair.
