Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the building management about a few key points. First, confirm the tenure and check the title, including whether an individual strata title has been issued for the unit. Next, ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether any payments are in arrears. Find out which facilities are available and how well they are maintained. Always view the unit in person. Check for water stains, cracks, and the condition of wiring and plumbing. Ask about parking, security arrangements and any house rules. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs. Buyers may wish to use a lawyer to run a land search and review the sale and purchase agreement.
