Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing to a unit at Orkid, ask the agent or the building management a few key questions. Confirm the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, and how many years remain on a lease. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available, such as parking, lifts or security, and how well they are kept. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day. That way you can judge noise, natural light, ventilation and the condition of shared areas like corridors and stairways. Check for signs of leaks, damp or wiring problems. If you are buying, have a lawyer check the title and confirm there are no restrictions or outstanding charges. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Make sure it covers the deposit, the repair responsibilities and the notice period.
