Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and check the title yourself. If you are buying, confirm whether the title is a strata title or a master title. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund rates, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Find out what facilities are available and how parking works. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, light and traffic. Check the condition of the fittings, look for signs of leaks and take a walk around the common areas. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, agree on the deposit terms in writing and note the condition of the unit when you move in. Finally, test your daily commute from the development yourself before you decide.
