Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit to a unit at One East, ask the agent or the management office for the key details and get them in writing. Confirm the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, and check the remaining lease if it is leasehold. Ask about the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and whether any payments are overdue on the unit. Find out which facilities are available to residents and whether any of them carry extra charges. Many serviced residences sit on commercial land, so ask how this affects quit rent, assessment and utility rates. Always view the unit in person. Check for leaks, damp, wiring and the condition of fittings, and look at the common areas, lifts and car park too. Buyers should check the title and the property's status with a lawyer before signing. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs.
