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 confirmed in writing. Points worth checking include: - Tenure: ask whether the title is freehold or leasehold and, if leasehold, how many years remain. - Title: check whether a strata title has been issued and that the owner's name matches the seller. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the current monthly charges and whether there are any arrears on the unit. - Facilities: find out what is provided and whether it is in working order. - The unit itself: view it in person, ideally at different times of day, and check for leaks, wiring problems and noise. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and record the unit's condition with photos before moving in.
