Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing to a unit at The Landmark, ask the agent or the management office for the details that matter most to you. Confirm the tenure and check the title documents, ideally with help from a lawyer. Ask about the current maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether any increases are planned. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are in good working order. Always view the unit in person and look for signs of water leaks, damp or wear. Visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise, traffic and parking. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree in writing on the deposit, repairs and the condition of furniture.
