Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the land tenure, the current maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities residents can use. Check that the title type and any restrictions suit your plans, especially if you intend to take a bank loan. Always view the actual unit rather than relying on photos, and look at the condition of shared areas such as lifts, corridors and parking. Visit at different times of day to get a feel for traffic and noise around the building. If you are renting, confirm which furnishings are included and who pays for repairs. Comparing with nearby developments such as M Vista or Southbay Plaza can help you judge whether an asking price or rent is reasonable.
