Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the building management for the key details. Confirm the tenure, as freehold and leasehold affect long-term value and financing. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, light and the condition of common areas. Buyers should check the title, as strata title status matters for transfers and loans, and ask a lawyer to run a search. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully and record the unit's condition on move-in. Finally, compare the unit with similar ones nearby before making an offer.
