Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and which facilities are available and working. If you are buying, check the title and strata status, and ask whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge light, noise and parking. Because the area is hilly, check access and how the walk or drive feels. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and confirm the deposit, the length of the lease and what furniture and appliances are included.
