Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details and get them in writing. Tenure: confirm whether the title is freehold or leasehold. If it is leasehold, ask how many years remain. Title: ask whether individual strata titles have been issued, and have a lawyer check the title. Maintenance fees and sinking fund: ask for the current monthly charges and whether the unit has any arrears. Facilities: ask what shared facilities are available and see them in person. The unit itself: view it and check for leaks, damp, wiring problems and the condition of the fittings. Parking: confirm whether the unit has allocated parking. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, note what furniture is included and agree the deposit terms upfront.
