Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you buy, ask the agent or the management office to confirm the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and the type of title. Check whether a strata title has been issued. Ask about the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund. Find out whether the current owner has any arrears, because these can become your problem after the sale. Ask which facilities the development has, and check parking arrangements and security for yourself. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, so you can judge noise, natural light and ventilation. Look at the condition of the corridors, stairs and common areas, as they show how well the building is maintained. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Make sure the deposit, the utility arrangements and the responsibility for repairs are clearly set out before you sign.
