Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure. Freehold and leasehold titles can affect long-term value and financing. Check the current maintenance and sinking fund charges, and ask which facilities are available and whether they are in good working order. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day. This helps you judge noise, natural light and parking, and lets you see the condition of shared areas such as lifts and corridors. If you are buying, check the title type, confirm the seller's ownership, and consider having a lawyer review the sale documents. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and confirm which furniture and appliances are included. Agree on the deposit and how repairs will be handled before you sign.
