Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent, owner or building management for the key details, ideally in writing. Useful points to cover include: - Tenure: confirm whether the property is freehold or leasehold. If it is leasehold, ask how many years remain on the lease. - Title and ownership: check that the seller's name matches the title, and ask whether the unit has its own strata title. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the current monthly charges and whether the unit has any arrears. - Facilities and parking: ask what is provided and how parking bays are allocated. - Condition: view the unit in person and look for leaks, damp and wiring problems. Also check the state of the common areas. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and note the deposit terms. Take photos of the unit's condition when you move in. If you are buying, ask a lawyer to carry out the relevant searches before you sign anything.
