FAQs
1-bedroom units offer better work-life separation than studios with a dedicated bedroom for sleep and living area for work. You can have video calls without showing your bed, and maintain professional backgrounds. However, the limited space means you'll need efficient furniture and good organization. Consider noise levels from neighbors and ensure good internet connectivity for reliable remote work.
Address issues early through calm, direct conversation before they escalate. Use 'I' statements to express how situations affect you rather than making accusations. Suggest practical solutions and be willing to compromise. If direct communication fails, involve the landlord or main tenant as a mediator. Document serious issues and consider whether the living situation is sustainable long-term.
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.
Check the agreement for notice and replacement terms. Align on advertising, viewings, and how utilities are split during the gap. Keep shared costs transparent so no one subsidizes unfairly. Get approvals in writing before a new person joins.
Compare total costs including utilities, factor in privacy benefits and not having to share common areas with housemates. Consider whether the studio's location, amenities, and independence justify potentially higher costs than a room rental. Think about your lifestyle preferences and need for personal space.
Yes. Many landed homes have two or three storeys, so you'll be using stairs daily. If you have young children or elderly family, consider safety (installing baby gates, sturdy handrails). Different floors give privacy with bedrooms separate from living areas, but you'll also be climbing up and down a lot.
Small spaces can impact mental health through feelings of claustrophobia, lack of privacy, and difficulty separating work and personal life. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent stuffiness and mold. Prioritize natural light and consider full-spectrum lighting for mood regulation. Make time for outdoor activities and social interaction to counteract potential isolation from compact living.
HDB estates often have nearby markets, food courts, clinics, schools, and community centers. Many have playgrounds, fitness corners, and resident committee activities. Check proximity to essential services, public transport, and whether the estate has active community programs that might interest you.
