Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing to a unit, ask the agent or management office about the tenure, the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and which facilities are available to residents. View the unit in person and check its condition, including plumbing, windows, wiring and any signs of water damage. If you are buying, check the title and confirm whether the property has an individual or strata title, and ask your lawyer to run the necessary searches. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm what furniture and fittings are included, and agree on who pays for repairs. It also helps to ask about parking, access cards and house rules for residents.
