Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, whether it is freehold or leasehold, and how many years remain on any lease. Check the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund contribution, and whether any special charges are planned. Ask which facilities are available and whether they are in working order, and walk around the common areas yourself. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, natural light and parking. Buyers should check the title type and status, confirm the seller's ownership and look for any outstanding charges with the help of a lawyer. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, note the deposit terms and record the unit's condition when moving in.
