Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the building management for the key details. Confirm the tenure, as freehold and leasehold properties differ in long-term value and in the steps needed for transfers. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund contributions, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Request a list of the facilities and check that they are in working order. View the unit in person and look for signs of leaks, damp or wear, and test the plumbing, wiring and air-conditioning. Buyers should check the title and confirm that the seller is the registered owner, ideally with help from a lawyer. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms, the length of the lease and who pays for repairs.
