Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure and check the title type, as this affects financing and resale. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and whether there are any outstanding arrears on the unit. Confirm which facilities are available and in working order, and ask about parking allocation. Always view the unit in person and look for signs of leaks, damp or wear in the common areas. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, and confirm the deposit amounts and which furniture and appliances are included.
