Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure and check the title type and its status. Buyers should confirm whether a strata title has been issued and, if relevant, any restrictions on transfer. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and how well they are kept. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, light and ventilation. Walk through the common areas, lifts and parking to get a sense of upkeep. Try your daily route at peak hours to see how it works for you. Finally, compare current sale and rental listings in Jelutong to get a feel for the market.
