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 most to you. Confirm the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold. If it is leasehold, ask how many years remain on the lease. Ask for the current monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and whether any increases are planned. Check which facilities are provided and what condition they are in. Buyers should check the title, including whether a strata title has been issued and whether the seller's name matches it. Always view the unit in person, and look at the common areas, lifts and parking too, ideally at different times of day. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit, notice period and who pays for repairs. Buyers may wish to appoint a lawyer to carry out searches before signing anything.
