Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before making a decision, ask the agent or the management office for the details that matter most to you. Buyers should confirm the tenure and the type of title, and ask whether a strata title has been issued. Find out the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and whether there are any outstanding arrears on the unit. Ask which facilities are available and whether any are under repair. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, and check for noise, natural light, water pressure and signs of leaks. Ask about parking allocation and visitor parking. Renters should read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit amounts and check which furniture and appliances are included.
