Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Ask the agent or management office about the tenure and the type of title, and confirm the title details before you commit. Find out the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether the seller has any outstanding amounts. Ask which facilities are available and how well they are kept. Always view the unit in person: look at the condition of the walls, ceilings, plumbing and windows, and check the lifts, corridors, parking and rubbish collection in the common areas. If you are buying with a loan, speak to your bank early about valuation and financing. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, agree on the deposits and who pays for repairs, and record the condition of the unit with photos when you move in.
