Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details and get them in writing. Points to cover include: - Tenure: confirm whether the unit is freehold or leasehold, and if leasehold, how many years remain. - Title: check whether an individual strata title has been issued and that the seller's name matches it. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the current monthly charges and whether any payments are outstanding. - Facilities and security: ask what is provided and see them in person. - The unit itself: view it and check for leaks, cracks, water pressure and the condition of fittings. - For tenants: read the tenancy agreement carefully, including deposits, notice period and who pays for repairs. A lawyer can help you check the title and the sale documents before you sign.
