FAQs
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.
3-bedroom units offer excellent flexibility for families. Start with a master bedroom, nursery, and guest room/study. As children grow, convert the study to a second child's room. The extra space allows for toy storage, play areas, and separate study zones. Consider child-proofing requirements and proximity to good schools when choosing location.
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.
2-bedroom units typically cost 60-80% more than 1-bedroom units, but when shared between two people, can be more economical per person than individual studios. Factor in additional costs like higher utility bills with more space to cool and light. Consider whether the extra space and privacy justify the higher cost for your lifestyle and budget.
Use light colors, mirrors, and good lighting to create an illusion of space. Choose compact, multi-functional furniture and utilize vertical storage. Keep the room uncluttered, use under-bed storage, and consider whether you can use some shared areas for activities like studying or relaxing.
Master rooms offer more privacy for hosting but require coordination with housemates about guest policies. Clarify overnight guest limits, shared area usage when you have visitors, and whether guests can use common facilities. Be considerate about noise levels and bathroom queue times when hosting. Your ensuite provides privacy but ensure guests understand house rules and respect other tenants' space.
Ask about air-con use and costs. Many HDB owners let you run it at night but expect you to share the electricity bill or servicing costs. Check that the air-con unit is working well. If it's older, it might be noisier or less efficient.
Run taps and flush toilets to check water pressure (and watch for leaks). Turn on lights, fans, and air-con to ensure they work. Test any provided appliances as well. Check walls and ceilings for water stains or mold. Note any problems and have the landlord address them before move-in. Photograph any defects and attach them to the inventory to avoid end-lease disputes.
