Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the management office for the key details and get them in writing. If you are buying: confirm the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and whether an individual strata title has been issued. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund rates, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Request recent management statements if possible, and check how many car park bays come with the unit. If you are renting: read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit, notice period and who pays for repairs. For everyone: ask which facilities are available and view them yourself. Visit the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check noise, natural light, water pressure and the condition of common areas such as lifts and corridors.
