Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you buy or rent at Taman Bistari, put the key questions to the agent or the management office. Ask whether the title is freehold or leasehold and, if it is leasehold, how many years remain. Ask what the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges are and whether they are paid up for the unit you are considering. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. View the unit in person, ideally more than once and at different times of day. Look for leaks, damp, cracks and worn wiring or plumbing, and check the condition of shared areas such as stairways and corridors. Buyers should have a lawyer check the title and any encumbrances and confirm that the seller is the registered owner. Renters should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms, who pays for repairs and the notice period.
