Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. These include the tenure, the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and the facilities available to residents. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, so you can judge noise, natural light and parking. Check the condition of fittings, plumbing and air-conditioning. If you are buying, check the title and ask a lawyer to confirm the ownership and any restrictions or charges on the property. Ask whether the owner has any outstanding maintenance fees. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms, the length of the tenancy and who is responsible for repairs.
