Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about tenure, monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and which facilities are available to residents. If you are buying, check the title type and status, and confirm that the seller is the registered owner. Ask whether there are any outstanding maintenance fees or utility bills on the unit. Always view the unit in person: look at the condition of the walls, ceilings, windows, plumbing and wiring, and take a walk around the common areas, stairways and parking. Visiting at different times of day can give you a feel for noise and traffic. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, agree on the deposit and what furnishings are included, and note any existing damage before you move in.
