Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, and check the title type. Ask for the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and what they cover. Find out which facilities are available and whether any are under repair. Always view the unit in person: look for water leaks, check the condition of windows, doors and fittings, and notice the view and noise levels at different times of day. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, note the deposit terms and record the unit's condition when you move in. If you are buying, ask your lawyer to check the title and any outstanding charges on the unit. As several condominiums nearby have similar names, it is worth comparing a few before deciding.
