Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the details that matter to you. These include the tenure (freehold or leasehold), the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities are available and in working order. If you are buying, check the title. Find out whether a strata title has been issued and whether there are any restrictions or outstanding charges on the unit. Ask whether maintenance fees are fully paid up. Always view the unit in person, if possible at different times of day. Look for signs of leaks or damp, check the windows, plumbing and wiring, and ask about parking and visitor arrangements. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully. Confirm the deposit, who pays for repairs and what furnishings are included. It also helps to compare asking prices and rents with nearby developments before you decide.
