Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure of the unit, the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities are provided. Find out whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit you are interested in. View the unit in person and check the walls, ceilings, plumbing, wiring and windows. Look at shared spaces such as corridors and stairways too, as they show how well the building is maintained. If you are buying, check the title and confirm the seller's ownership through a lawyer. Ask whether any restrictions apply to resale or to renting the unit out. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and note the deposit terms. Take dated photos of the unit's condition when you move in.
