Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or building management about the tenure, the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and the facilities available to residents. If you are buying, ask to see recent management statements. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check noise, natural light and the condition of fittings. For a purchase, check the title type and go through the details with your lawyer, including any restrictions or outstanding charges. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm which furnishings are included and agree in writing on deposits and repairs. Comparing a few units in the building and in nearby developments will give you a clearer sense of fair asking prices and rents.
