Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you make an offer or sign a tenancy, ask the agent or the building management for the key details. These include the tenure, the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities are available to residents. Buyers should check the title type and status, and ask whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. If you can, read the house rules and recent management notices. Always view the unit in person. Look at the condition of the walls, windows, plumbing and electrical fittings, and visit at different times of day to judge noise and light. Ask about parking allocation, security arrangements and visitor access. If you are renting, confirm what furniture and appliances are included, and get the deposit terms in writing.
