Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent, owner or building management for the key details. Confirm the tenure, as freehold and leasehold affect long-term value and financing. Ask for the current maintenance fee 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. Check for water stains, the condition of wiring and plumbing, and how much natural light and ventilation each room gets. For buyers, check the title status and get a lawyer to run a search before paying a deposit. For tenants, read the tenancy agreement carefully and record the unit's condition with photos when you move in. Finally, try your daily commute at peak hours, as travel times around Bayan Lepas can vary through the day.
