Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or owner to confirm the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and check the land title yourself. If you are buying, find out whether an individual or strata title has been issued. Ask the management office about monthly maintenance fees, the sinking fund and any outstanding charges on the unit. Request a list of facilities and check that they are actually in working order. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, light and traffic. Check the condition of fittings, look for leaks or damp, and confirm parking arrangements. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, including deposit terms and who pays for repairs. Comparing a few nearby developments will also give you a better sense of fair prices and rents.
