Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and which facilities are available to residents. Always view the unit in person and check its condition, including plumbing, wiring, windows and any signs of water leaks. Buyers should check the title type and confirm that the seller is the registered owner, and it is sensible to have a lawyer review the documents. Ask whether there are any outstanding maintenance charges on the unit. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, note what furniture and appliances are included, and agree in writing on the deposit and who pays for repairs.
