FAQs
Landed properties typically have higher utility costs due to size, multiple levels, and outdoor areas. Understand how water, electricity, and gas are metered, whether outdoor lighting or water features affect costs, and if there are separate meters for different areas. Budget accordingly for potentially significant utility expenses.
You need to plan beyond just monthly rent. Budget for your security deposit, utility bills (electricity, water, gas), internet, and any regular maintenance or air-con servicing costs. Also factor in moving expenses and possible agent fees.
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.
Common deductions include excessive cleaning needs, damaged furniture or fixtures, unpaid utilities, missing keys or access cards, and alterations made without permission. Normal wear and tear should not be deducted. Take detailed photos at move-in and move-out to document the property's condition. Keep all receipts for any repairs or replacements you make.
Landed houses may require additional insurance considerations due to ground-level access, gardens, and potential flooding risks. Check if your landlord's insurance covers tenant belongings and liability for accidents on the property. Consider additional coverage for valuable items and personal liability, especially if you have guests using outdoor areas or pools.
Look for units where bedrooms are well-separated, preferably not all clustered together. Check sound insulation between rooms, whether there are multiple bathroom facilities, and if common areas allow for both social interaction and private space. Consider the unit's layout for natural privacy zones.
Most 4-bedroom units have one master bedroom with ensuite, and three smaller bedrooms sharing 1-2 additional bathrooms. Some premium units offer two master suites. Common areas typically include larger living/dining spaces and bigger kitchens to accommodate family needs. Check if bedrooms are clustered together or spread throughout the unit for privacy considerations.
Often 2-bedroom units have two bathrooms: usually one attached to the master bedroom and a second common bathroom. This is great for convenience. However, some 2-bedroom flats only have one shared bathroom. Check the listing. Two bathrooms make life easier, but one is still manageable if you plan your routines.
