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. For buyers, confirm the tenure and check the title, including whether the strata title has been issued and whether there are any restrictions or charges on it. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund rates and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and how parking is allocated. Always view the unit in person and check its condition, water pressure, wiring and any signs of leaks. Visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise and traffic. For tenants, read the tenancy agreement carefully, agree in writing on the deposits and what is included, and record the condition of the unit when you move in.
