Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, and check what the title says. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges. Also ask which facilities residents can use and whether they are in working order. View the unit in person and look for water stains, the condition of windows and fittings, water pressure, mobile signal and natural light. If you can, visit at different times of day to judge noise, parking and lift waiting times. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm which furniture is included and agree in writing on the deposit and who pays for repairs. If you are buying, ask your lawyer to check the title, any restrictions on it and whether the strata title has been issued.
