Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure of the land, as freehold or leasehold status can affect financing and resale. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, what they cover, and whether the unit you are considering has any arrears. Confirm which facilities are available to residents and what condition they are in. Always view the unit in person. Check for water leaks, the wiring and windows, and the state of common areas such as stairways, corridors and parking. If you are buying, have your lawyer check the title and ownership details and confirm whether the strata title has been issued. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit, the notice period and who pays for repairs.
