Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure. Find out whether the property is freehold or leasehold and, for a lease, how many years remain. Ask for the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether any special levies are planned. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. Always view the unit in person. Look for signs of water leaks and check the condition of the wiring and plumbing. Note how much natural light and ventilation the unit gets. Visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise levels and parking. If you are buying, check the title, confirm whether the strata title has been issued and have a lawyer carry out a search. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Pay attention to the deposit terms and who pays for repairs.
