Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure of the land, the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and which facilities are available to residents. View the actual unit rather than relying on photos, and check its condition, natural light, ventilation and any signs of leaks. If you are buying, confirm the title type and status with your lawyer, and ask whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm what furniture and fittings are included, and agree in writing on deposits and who handles repairs. Comparing a few listings in Bukit Mertajam will also help you judge whether an asking price or rent is fair.
