Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure (freehold or leasehold), the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and which facilities residents can use. Check whether parking comes with the unit and how bays are allocated. Always view the unit in person. Look at the condition of the walls, ceilings, windows, plumbing and wiring, and check for signs of water leaks. Walk through the common areas, lifts and car park as well, because these show how well the building is kept. If you are buying, ask your lawyer to check the title, any charges on the property and whether there are unpaid maintenance fees. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit, notice period and who pays for repairs.
