Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, confirm the details yourself rather than relying on a listing alone. - Ask the agent or owner about tenure (freehold or leasehold) and, if it is leasehold, how many years remain. - Check the title type and whether the unit has its own strata title. - Ask the management office about monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether the unit has any unpaid arrears. - Find out which facilities are provided, such as parking and security, and how well they are kept. - View the unit in person. Look at the walls, ceilings, plumbing and wiring, and check for leaks or damp. - Walk around the common areas and ask residents what living there is like. - If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Check the deposit, the notice period and who pays for repairs. - If you are buying, have a lawyer review the sale and purchase agreement and carry out the necessary searches.
