Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or management office to confirm the tenure, the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, which facilities are available, and how many parking bays come with the unit. Ask whether the building has any house rules on renovations, pets or short-term letting. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, so you can check natural light, noise and the condition of common areas such as lifts and corridors. Look for signs of leaks or water damage inside the unit. Buyers should check the title with a lawyer, confirm whether individual strata titles have been issued, and get loan advice early. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully. Confirm the deposit amounts, who pays for repairs and utilities, and what furniture is included.
