Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the details that matter most to you: - Tenure: confirm whether the property is freehold or leasehold, and how many years remain on any lease. - Title: check the type of title and whether individual strata titles have been issued. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the current monthly charges and whether any increases are planned. - Facilities: ask which shared facilities are available and whether they are in good working order. - The unit itself: view it in person and check for leaks, water pressure, wiring and the condition of fittings. - Letting rules: if you plan to rent the unit out, ask whether the building has rules on short-term or long-term letting. Utility rates and charges for serviced residences can differ from those for condominiums, so ask about this as well.
