Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure and the remaining lease if it applies. Ask about monthly maintenance fees, the sinking fund and any outstanding charges on the unit. Find out which facilities are available to residents and whether they are in working order. If you are buying, check the title status and confirm that the seller is the registered owner. Your lawyer can help with searches. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and note the deposits, the notice period and who pays for repairs. Visit the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, light and the outlook. Check the water pressure, any signs of leaks, the condition of the lifts and the parking arrangements. Speaking to current residents can also give you a useful picture of daily life in the building.
