Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for key details. These include the tenure (freehold or leasehold), the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and which facilities residents can use. If you are buying, check the title type and confirm that it matches what the seller tells you. Your lawyer can also check whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Always view the unit in person. Check the condition, the layout and the natural light, and look at how well the common areas are kept. A visit at different times of day can give you a feel for traffic and noise. Renters should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs.
