Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about tenure and the title type. Also ask whether individual strata titles have been issued. Request a breakdown of monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and ask whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. Always view the unit in person. Check for water stains, the condition of windows and fittings, and how the common areas are kept. Buyers should have a lawyer carry out a title search. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs.
