Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent, owner or building management a few practical questions: - Tenure: confirm whether the unit is freehold or leasehold and, if leasehold, how many years remain. - Title: check that individual strata title has been issued and that the seller's name matches the title. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the current monthly charges and whether there are any arrears on the unit. - Facilities: ask which facilities are available and in working order, and whether any rules apply to residents or tenants. - Unit condition: view the unit in person. Check for leaks, water pressure, wiring and the state of fittings. - Parking: ask how many parking bays come with the unit. - Surroundings: visit at different times of day to check traffic, noise and how the area feels. Tenants should also read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree in writing on the deposit, repairs and what furniture is included.
