Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the details that matter most to you. For buyers, check the tenure and confirm the title type and status with your lawyer. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and whether any arrears are owed on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check natural light, noise and the condition of fittings. Look at the common areas, lifts and car park too, as they show how well the building is kept. For tenants, read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit amounts and note exactly what furniture and appliances are included. Visiting the area during peak hours will also give you a realistic idea of daily traffic.
