FAQs
Typically, there's a built-in wardrobe in the bedroom and cabinets in the kitchen. Some 1-bedroom flats include a small storeroom or utility closet. Use vertical space by adding shelves in empty spots. And choose furniture with storage, like a bed with drawers or an ottoman that opens.
Compare price per square foot with similar units, factor in included utilities and amenities, and consider location convenience. A slightly higher rent might be worth it for better layout, natural light, or building facilities. Consider long-term costs like transportation and whether the space meets your actual needs.
Establish morning routines and peak usage times with housemates, keep personal items organized in designated areas, and maintain cleanliness standards. Consider having backup plans for busy mornings, and communicate openly about any issues rather than letting frustrations build up.
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.
HDB regularly upgrades older estates with new lifts, facades, or facilities. While improvements are beneficial long-term, they can cause temporary noise, dust, and access disruptions. Check if any upgrading is planned during your lease period and how it might affect your daily routine and rent.
Know your landlord's emergency contact and preferred repair service providers. For urgent issues like water leaks or electrical problems, act quickly to prevent damage and notify your landlord immediately. Keep receipts for emergency repairs - some landlords reimburse reasonable emergency costs. Understand what constitutes an emergency versus routine maintenance that can wait.
Look for sun exposure, corridor traffic, and window seals. Older blocks may show wear, so check for water stains, spalling, and musty smells. Test airflow with windows open and closed to understand heat buildup and ventilation effectiveness.
Older HDB flats have a rubbish chute inside – make sure its lid seals well to keep out odours and pests. Newer flats use a shared chute on each floor. If your flat is near that chute, you might catch an occasional smell, but it’s usually minor if kept clean.
