Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, confirm the key details directly with the agent, the owner or the management office. - Tenure: ask whether the title is freehold or leasehold. For a leasehold title, ask how many years remain on the lease. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the monthly charges. Check whether payments are up to date for the unit you are considering. - Facilities and parking: ask what is provided and how many parking bays come with the unit. - Title and ownership: check whether individual strata title has been issued and whether the seller is the registered owner. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day. Check natural light, noise and the condition of the shared areas. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and record the condition of the unit when you move in. Agree in writing who handles repairs. If you are buying, a lawyer can carry out a land search and check for any outstanding charges on the property.
