Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details, and get them in writing where possible. Ask about tenure: is the title freehold or leasehold, and if leasehold, how many years remain? Ask about maintenance fees and the sinking fund, and whether the unit has any arrears. Ask which facilities are provided and whether they are in working order. Check whether the unit has a strata title and whether there are any restrictions on it. View the unit in person and look for water stains, damp, cracks, and the condition of the plumbing and wiring. The common areas, lifts and car park show how well the building is managed. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, note the deposit terms and photograph the unit before moving in. Buyers should consider engaging a lawyer to carry out a title search and handle the sale and purchase agreement.
