Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure of the land, because freehold and leasehold titles can affect long-term value and financing. Check the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and ask whether any unpaid charges are attached to the unit. Ask which facilities are available and how well they are kept. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check noise, natural light and water pressure, and look for any signs of leaks or damp. Walk around the common areas too, as they show how well the building is maintained. If you are buying, ask your lawyer to confirm the title status and whether a strata title has been issued. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and take photos of the unit's condition before you move in.
