Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. These include the tenure (freehold or leasehold), the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and the facilities that are available. If you are buying, check the title type and confirm the seller's ownership. Ask whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. View the unit in person, and if possible visit at different times of day to get a sense of noise, parking and lift use. Look at the condition of the common areas and ask about water supply and any recent repairs. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit terms, and note any furniture or appliances included in writing.
