Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details and get them in writing. Ask whether the title is freehold or leasehold and, if leasehold, how many years remain. Ask how much the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges are, and whether the unit is up to date on payments. Find out which facilities residents can use and whether they are in working order. Visit the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, natural light and access. Check fittings, plumbing, wiring and air-conditioning. Buyers should have a lawyer check the title, any restrictions on ownership, and whether a strata title has been issued. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms, notice period and who pays for repairs.
