Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent, owner or building management a few practical questions. Confirm the tenure and check the title, including whether an individual strata title has been issued. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and how well they are kept. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, sunlight, ventilation and parking. Look at the condition of common areas such as lifts, corridors and stairwells, as this often reflects how the building is managed. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who is responsible for repairs.
