Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, confirm a few details directly. Ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and which facilities residents can use. If you are buying, check the title type and whether there are any restrictions or encumbrances. It is also wise to have a lawyer review the documents. Always view the actual unit rather than relying on photos. Look at its condition, the direction it faces, natural light and noise, and visit at different times of day if you can. Walk through the common areas, lifts and car park to see how well the building is maintained. If you are renting, confirm the deposit, which furnishings are included and the house rules on guests and parking.
