Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing to a unit, ask the agent or the building management for the key details. These include tenure, current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and which facilities residents can actually use. Always view the unit in person. Check its condition, natural light, ventilation and any signs of water seepage, and look at the common areas too. Buyers should check the title and confirm whether there are any restrictions or outstanding charges on the unit. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms and what furniture or appliances are included. It also helps to visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise and traffic around the building.
