Location and neighbourhood

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the management office about tenure (freehold or leasehold), monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and which facilities are available to residents. View the unit in person and check its condition, layout, natural light, ventilation and any signs of water damage. Ask about parking, security arrangements and house rules, especially if you plan to rent the unit out. Buyers should check the title status and confirm there are no outstanding charges on the unit. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully and record the unit's condition before moving in. Comparing a few units in nearby developments can also help you judge whether an asking price or rent is reasonable.
