Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Ask the agent or the management office about the tenure and confirm it against the title document. Check whether the unit has an individual or strata title and whether the title has been issued. Ask about the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and whether the current owner has any arrears. Ask which facilities are provided, whether they are in working order, and what the house rules cover, including parking, renovations and pets. Always view the unit in person. Look for signs of leaks, damp or cracks, test the water pressure and air-conditioning, and check the condition of the common areas. Renters should read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit amounts and note who pays for repairs. Buyers should consider using a lawyer to run searches before signing.
