Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the management office for the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and check the title, including whether a strata title has been issued. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund rates, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit you are considering. Confirm which facilities are available and in working order, and how many parking bays come with the unit. Always view the unit in person. Check for damp, water pressure, wiring and the condition of fittings, and look at the common areas, lifts and security arrangements. If you are renting, agree in writing what furniture and appliances are included, the deposit amount and who pays for repairs. If you are buying, have a lawyer carry out the usual searches before you sign.
