Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, and confirm it on the title. Check the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and ask whether there are any arrears on the unit you are viewing. Find out which facilities are available and whether any are under repair. As this is a serviced residence, ask whether utility charges are billed at residential or commercial rates, and check the house rules on renovation, pets and short-term letting. Always view the unit in person, looking at water pressure, windows, signs of leaks and the condition of the lifts and common areas. Buyers should have a lawyer check the title and any restrictions, while tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully and keep a written record of the unit's condition on move-in.
