Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office a few practical questions. Confirm the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, and check the land title and any restrictions. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether any payments are overdue on the unit you are looking at. Ask which facilities are available to residents and whether any are under repair. Always view the unit in person. Check the condition of the fittings, look for water stains or cracks, and test the windows, doors and plumbing. Visit at different times of day to get a sense of noise, traffic and parking. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and who pays for repairs. Buyers may want a lawyer to carry out the usual searches before signing.
