FAQs
Condo living often attracts young professionals and expatriates, creating diverse, international housemate communities. Expect higher living standards and potentially more transient housemates who may move frequently for work. The facilities create natural social opportunities - you might meet neighbors at the pool or gym. However, this can also mean more temporary relationships compared to HDB community living.
Having a private attached bathroom is convenient – no sharing with others. You can use it anytime without waiting. However, you’ll be responsible for keeping it clean (there’s no one else using it). Check that the ensuite has good ventilation or a fan, since moisture can build up. Ensure the drainage slope, water pressure and hot water in the shower are good when you inspect. Overall, an ensuite adds comfort and privacy, but comes with the task of sole upkeep.
Generally, yes. Landed homes are often in quieter residential areas, so public transport might be a longer walk away. If you don’t drive, check how close the nearest bus stop or MRT is. You’re gaining a quiet environment but giving up some convenience of easy transport access.
While landlords pay maintenance fees directly, these costs often influence rental prices. Understand what facilities and services these fees cover, as higher fees might mean better maintenance and amenities. Ask about any special assessments or major repair works that might affect the building during your tenancy.
Landed houses often have higher utility consumption due to larger spaces and multiple floors. Air-conditioning costs can be significant with bigger rooms and common areas. Water usage may be higher with garden watering. Discuss how utilities are split among housemates and whether there are caps or guidelines for usage to avoid bill shock.
Popular facilities like BBQ pits, function rooms, and tennis courts often require advance booking and may have peak time restrictions. Weekend slots fill up quickly, especially for BBQ areas. Some facilities have time limits or cleaning deposits. Download the condo's app or check with management about booking procedures, cancellation policies, and any additional charges for facility usage.
Renting a whole unit suits those who value privacy and space. It’s ideal for families, couples, or a group of friends who want the whole place to themselves. You can use and arrange the home as you wish, but you also shoulder full responsibility for rent, bills, and maintenance.
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.
