Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the building management for the key details. Confirm the tenure, as freehold and leasehold affect long-term value and financing. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and what they cover. Request a list of the facilities and check that they are working and well kept. Always view the unit in person, looking at the condition of fittings, signs of water leaks and the view or orientation. If buying, check the title status and whether the strata title has been issued. If renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs. Visiting at different times of day can also give you a feel for traffic and noise.
