Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the current maintenance and sinking fund charges, and which facilities residents can use. View the unit in person. If you can, visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise, traffic and parking. Check the condition of the unit, including any signs of leaks or damp, and look at the state of the common areas. Buyers should confirm the title type, ask whether a strata title has been issued and have a lawyer run a search before signing anything. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, note the deposit terms and record the unit's condition when they move in. Comparing a few listings in Sungai Dua side by side will also help you judge whether an asking price or rent is fair.
