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 to you. If you are buying, confirm the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and check the title, including whether a strata title has been issued. Ask about monthly maintenance fees and the sinking fund, and whether the seller has any outstanding charges. A lawyer can help you review these documents. Ask which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to get a sense of noise, light and traffic. Check the condition of the walls, plumbing and fittings, and ask about parking for residents and visitors. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, agree on the deposit and the furnishings in writing, and note any existing defects before you move in.
