Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you buy, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure and check the land title. Find out the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund. Ask whether the unit has any outstanding arrears. Ask which facilities are available and how well they are kept. Always view the unit in person. Check the water pressure, wiring, windows and any signs of leaks or damp. Look at the lifts, parking, security arrangements and the state of the common areas. A visit at different times of day, such as a weekday evening and a weekend, will give you a better feel for noise and parking. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Confirm the deposit amounts and agree on an inventory of furniture and fittings before you move in.
