Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. Find out whether the title is freehold or leasehold and, for leasehold, how many years remain. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and which facilities residents can use. Check whether the strata title has been issued. Also check for any restrictions on the land, such as Malay reserve or bumiputera lot status, that may affect resale. View the unit in person and look at the condition of the common areas. Ask about parking, security and any planned repair works. Tenants should confirm what the rent covers, the deposit required and the terms for renewal. Buyers can ask a lawyer to carry out a title search and review the sale and purchase agreement before signing.
