Assess the unit and monthly costs
Compare the size, condition, inclusions and monthly fees. Ask for the co-ownership documents and the information available on building work.
The advertised fees alone do not tell you about the building’s financial health or maintenance; have the documents reviewed according to your situation.
Test your commutes from the address
Check walking and transit routes to the destinations you use regularly.
Visit the area at several times to gauge traffic, noise, parking and local services.
Prepare an offer with your checks in place
Before submitting a promise to purchase, clarify your budget, the necessary documents and the conditions relevant to the property.
