Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you make a decision, ask the agent or management office for the key details. Find out the tenure, the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and which facilities residents can use. If you are buying, check the title type and confirm that the strata title has been issued, and have a lawyer review the paperwork. Always view the unit in person. Look at its condition, natural light, ventilation and noise, and check how the lifts, parking and common areas are maintained. Try visiting at different times of day to get a feel for traffic and activity around the building. If you plan to rent, confirm what furniture and appliances are included, who pays for repairs, and the terms for the deposit. Comparing listings at nearby developments can help you judge whether the price is fair.
