Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you sign anything, ask the agent, owner or building management for the key details of the unit and the development. These should include: - Tenure: whether the property is freehold or leasehold, and how many years remain on a lease. - Title: whether individual strata title has been issued, and whether the seller's name matches the title. - Maintenance fees and sinking fund: the monthly amount, and whether the current owner has any arrears. - Facilities: what is provided, and whether it is in working order. - Parking: how many bays come with the unit and how visitor parking works. View the unit in person. Check for leaks, damp, cracks, water pressure and the condition of the wiring and windows. Look at the common areas, lifts and rubbish collection, since they show how well the building is managed. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully. Check the deposit amounts, who pays for repairs, and the notice period. Buyers should use a lawyer to run searches and handle the sale and purchase agreement.
