Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and the type of title. If you are buying, have your lawyer check the title and confirm the ownership details. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and how well they are kept, including lifts, parking and security. Always view the unit in person. Look at the condition of the walls, ceilings, plumbing and wiring, and visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise and traffic. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree in writing on the deposit, repairs and what furniture is included.
