Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the building management for the key details. Confirm the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, and check the title type and any restrictions on transfer. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund rates, and find out which facilities are available and whether they are in good working order. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, natural light and parking. Look at the condition of shared areas such as lifts, corridors and car parks. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and note the deposit terms. If you are buying, consider asking a lawyer to review the sale and purchase agreement and the title before you sign.
