Ask questions that lead to records you can verify, rather than treating every verbal answer as complete advice.
Ask about the property
Request the contract, details of inclusions, known defects, approvals and recent work. Ask which sold comparisons support the guide. An asking price is not a valuation, and a building report has a defined scope.
Ask about shared ownership
For strata, review levies, the capital works fund, defects, proposed works and by-laws. Pet restrictions have legal limits; check the current rules rather than assuming a blanket ban. Have your legal adviser review title and parking rights and arrange independent inspections before an unconditional commitment.
