Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, and confirm it against the title. Check the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and ask which facilities are available and how well they are kept. Always view the unit in person: look at the condition of walls, windows, plumbing and wiring, and visit at different times of day to judge noise, traffic and parking. Buyers should have a lawyer check the title type and any restrictions, and confirm there are no outstanding charges on the unit. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who is responsible for repairs.
