Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you sign anything, ask the agent or the building management about the tenure, the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities are available to residents. If you are buying, check the title and any restrictions that come with it, and consider asking a lawyer to review the documents. Always view the actual unit rather than relying only on photos, and look at its condition, the direction it faces and the view. Ask about parking, security arrangements and house rules for the building. If you are renting, confirm what furniture and appliances are included, the deposit amount and the length of the tenancy agreement. Comparing several units in the same development, and a few nearby developments in Petaling Jaya, will help you judge whether the asking price or rent is fair.
