Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent, the owner or the management office for the key details. Check whether the land is freehold or leasehold, and how many years are left on a lease. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out what facilities are available and how well they are kept, including lifts, parking, security and rubbish collection. View the unit in person. Look for leaks, damp patches and cracks, and check the water pressure, wiring and windows. If you are buying, ask your lawyer to check the title, including whether an individual strata title has been issued and whether there are any restrictions on the property. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Agree on the deposit amounts, who pays for repairs, and what furniture and fittings are included.
