Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and which facilities residents can use. Check the title status and confirm that the seller or landlord is the registered owner. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, natural light and parking arrangements. Look at the condition of common areas such as corridors and stairways, as these show how the building is looked after. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, record any existing defects in writing, and agree on who pays for repairs. Comparing a few listings in Mutiara Villa and nearby buildings will also help you judge whether an asking price or rent is fair.
