Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the building management about the tenure of the land and check the title for yourself. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, what they cover, and whether any charges are unpaid on the unit you are looking at. Ask which facilities are available to residents and visit them in person. View the unit and look at its condition, ventilation and natural light. A second visit at a different time of day will give you a better feel for noise and traffic. Check the state of the common areas, lifts and parking arrangements. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposits required and agree in writing what furniture and appliances are included. Finally, compare the unit with similar homes in the nearby developments listed above.
