Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. Confirm the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, and if leasehold, how many years remain. Check the land title type and whether individual strata titles have been issued, as this affects financing and resale. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. Always view the unit in person: look for signs of damp, leaks or cracks, test the water pressure and electrical points, and check parking arrangements. Visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise and traffic. For rentals, read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs.
