Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. Confirm the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and how many years remain on a lease. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and whether any increases are planned. Check which facilities are available and whether any carry extra fees. View the unit in person and look for signs of damp, cracks or worn fittings. Also check the lifts, corridors and car park. Buyers should check the title and any restrictions with a lawyer. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and the house rules.
