Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or management office about the tenure, the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities are open to residents. Check the title and any restrictions with a lawyer, especially if you plan to rent the unit out on a short-term basis, as some buildings have their own house rules. View the unit in person and look for damp, mould or general wear, which can be more common in cooler, wetter hill areas. If you are renting, confirm what furniture is included, the deposit terms and who handles repairs. Comparing a few listings in this building and in other developments in the area will help you judge whether the asking price or rent is fair.
