Yes, usually the dining area in a 4-bedroom flat is sized for a big family. You can typically fit a 6- or 8-seater table comfortably. Some layouts have a separate dining room, others a large combined living/dining area. Either way, you should have space for everyone to eat together. It’s wise to measure if you own a huge dining set, but generally these units accommodate family dining well.
No, they aren’t equal. Usually, the master bedroom is largest, and the other bedrooms are smaller. Often the third bedroom is particularly tiny – fine for a kid or study, but tight for a big bed. So check dimensions: one room will likely be much smaller than the master.
Save the signed agreement, inventory, payment receipts, and all maintenance chats. Store dated photos of existing defects and meter readings. Keeping a single folder prevents disputes and speeds up deposit discussions at the end.
Many are, but not all. Confirm air‑con in your room, servicing schedule, usage rules, and who pays for maintenance. Older compressors may be less efficient and noisier.
In most 3-bedroom flats, bedrooms are grouped away from the living area. Often a hallway leads to the bedrooms, separate from the living room. This helps keep noise from TV or guests in the living room from reaching the bedrooms easily.
Discuss overnight stays, notice needed, and how often guests visit. Align on using shared spaces when visitors are around, noise after hours, and shared bathroom etiquette. Written guidelines avoid misunderstandings and help everyone host without tension.
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.
Run the shower and taps to test water pressure and hot water – make sure it heats up and flows well. Flush the toilet to ensure it works properly. Look around for any signs of leaks or mold (check under the sink and around the edges of the shower). See if there’s a ventilation fan or window, because you’ll want moisture to escape to prevent mildew.
