FAQs
Scan for groceries, eateries, clinics, and childcare nearby. Check sheltered walkways and bus stops. If you exercise outdoors, look for simple parks and fitness corners. Everyday errands become easier when essential services are within a short, comfortable stroll.
Many require a booked timeslot for lift padding and may collect a refundable deposit. Confirm required forms, booking windows, and whether your landlord handles them. Plan deliveries to match the approved window so movers aren’t turned away unexpectedly.
Address excessive utility usage diplomatically but firmly. Document patterns with photos of meter readings or bills showing spikes. Propose individual monitoring solutions like smart plugs for high-energy appliances or separate air-con timers. Consider splitting bills proportionally based on actual usage rather than equally. If direct conversation fails, involve the landlord to mediate or implement individual metering systems.
Check that the kitchen has adequate ventilation to prevent cooking smells from overwhelming the living space. Ensure sufficient counter space for meal prep and storage for kitchen essentials. Look for a proper range hood and consider the proximity to your sleeping area. Some studios have kitchenettes with limited cooking capabilities - confirm this meets your culinary needs.
Older HDB flats are usually more spacious but come with age. They might have older fittings and be a bit more worn, and some can get warm if they lack modern ventilation or insulation. Newer flats have updated interiors and designs, but they often trade off some space – rooms and living areas might be smaller. Think about whether you prefer the extra room of an older flat (and don’t mind a bit of old-school charm) or the fresh finish of a newer, albeit cozier, flat.
Corner units typically offer better ventilation, more natural light, additional windows, and sometimes larger layouts. They may also have less shared walls with neighbors, providing more privacy. However, they might be more expensive and could be noisier if facing main roads or having more external exposure.
Generally, HDB flats are most affordable, condominiums cost 30-50% more than comparable HDB units, and landed houses are the most expensive. However, prices vary significantly by location - a prime location HDB might cost more than a suburban condo. Factor in additional costs like condo maintenance fees, landed house utilities, and transport expenses when comparing total housing costs.
You get an extra room to use flexibly. For example, parents in one room, kids in another, and the third bedroom becomes a study, home office, or helper’s room. Basically, the third room means you don’t have to sacrifice having an office or guest space—you can have both.
