Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure (freehold or leasehold), the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities residents can use. Visit the unit in person and check its condition, including plumbing, wiring, windows and any signs of damp or leaks. Look at the common areas such as stairways, corridors and parking, because these show how well the building is maintained. If you are buying, ask a lawyer to verify the land title and any restrictions, and find out whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm which furniture and fittings are included, and agree in writing on the deposits and on who handles repairs.
