Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you make an offer or sign a tenancy, get the key details in writing. Ask the agent or building management about the tenure, as this affects long-term value and financing. Check the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and ask whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and how well they are kept, and ask about parking and security arrangements. Always view the unit in person. Check for water stains, damp, cracks, the condition of wiring and plumbing, and how much natural light and ventilation the unit gets. Visit at different times of day to get a sense of noise and traffic. If you are buying, ask your lawyer to check the title, confirm the seller's ownership and look for any restrictions or encumbrances. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Confirm what is included in the rent, how the deposit works and who is responsible for repairs.
