Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and which facilities are available and working. If you are buying, check the title status and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge light, noise and ventilation. Look at the condition of the common areas, lifts and car park, as they show how well the building is maintained. Tenants should ask about house rules, access cards and parking arrangements. Finally, compare the unit with similar listings nearby so you have a fair sense of value.
