Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the tenure, and check the title documents yourself or with a lawyer. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and the sinking fund, and whether any increases are planned. Find out which facilities are available and how well they are kept. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, light and parking. If you plan to rent, read the tenancy agreement carefully and confirm what furniture and fittings are included. Comparing a few current listings will also help you judge whether an asking price or rent is fair.
