Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent, owner or management office for the key details in writing. Confirm the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and, for leasehold, how many years remain. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and the sinking fund, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available, as well as parking arrangements and security. Always view the unit in person: check for water leaks, the condition of wiring and fittings, and the state of lifts and common areas. Buyers should check the title status and whether a strata title has been issued, and are advised to use a lawyer for searches. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs.
