Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure and check the title, including whether an individual strata title has been issued. Ask about the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and how well the common areas are kept. When viewing, check the water pressure, wiring, windows, roof leaks and any signs of damp. Visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise, parking and traffic. If you are buying, speak to your bank early about loan eligibility. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and confirm the deposit amount, who pays for repairs and what furniture is included.
