Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit to a unit at Moulmein Rise, it is sensible to ask the agent, owner or management office a few questions: - Tenure: ask whether the property is freehold or leasehold. If it is leasehold, ask how many years remain on the lease, as this can affect financing and resale. - Title: check the type of title and whether individual strata title has been issued. Your lawyer can confirm this for you. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the current monthly charges and whether any increases are planned. - Facilities: ask what facilities are provided and whether they are in working order. - Parking: confirm how many parking bays come with the unit. - The unit itself: always view it in person. Look for signs of leaks or damp, check the fittings and appliances, and note the view and noise levels. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Check the deposit amounts and what furniture is included.
