Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

A few practical checks will help you decide with confidence before you commit to a unit at MetraSquare. Ask the agent or building management about the tenure, and check the title details yourself, as these can affect financing and resale. Ask for the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether the unit has any outstanding arrears. Confirm which facilities residents can use and which house rules apply, including rules on renovations, pets and short-term letting. Always view the unit in person. Check its condition, layout, water pressure and ventilation, and look for any signs of leaks. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, note the deposit terms and record the unit's condition when you move in. If you are buying, ask a lawyer to carry out the usual searches before you sign.
