FAQs
Living alone can be isolating, so actively build social connections through neighborhood activities, building events, co-working spaces, or hobby groups. Consider inviting colleagues or friends over regularly, join community centers or sports clubs nearby, and maintain regular contact with family and friends. Balance the privacy benefits of solo living with intentional social engagement.
Coordinate with your roommate about quiet hours, morning routines, and shared space usage during different schedules. Consider soundproofing measures like rugs, curtains, or white noise machines. Discuss kitchen and bathroom usage during early morning or late night hours. Establish guidelines for guests and entertainment when one person is sleeping.
Factor in daily transport costs to work, not just rent. A cheaper rental far from MRT might cost more overall with daily taxi/grab rides. Consider monthly transport passes, peak hour surcharges, and travel time value. Properties near MRT stations command higher rent but offer convenience and cost savings. Calculate your total monthly housing + transport budget realistically.
Landed homes lack the security of condos, so you need to be mindful. Always lock doors, windows, and the gate. If you’re on the ground floor, ensure your window has a grille or strong lock. Some houses have alarms or cameras, but day-to-day safety relies on you being vigilant.
In a landed house, residents handle all the cleaning. Large spaces (living rooms, kitchen, stairs) mean more work, so housemates should set a chore routine or hire a cleaner together. Agreeing on who cleans what (and when) keeps the big home comfortable for everyone.
Learn the visitor registration system, understand security procedures for guests, and know the protocols for deliveries and service personnel. Some condos have strict visitor policies, time restrictions, or require advance registration. Ensure your guests understand and follow building security requirements.
Singapore's vibrant food delivery scene means lots of packages arriving. Establish rules about receiving deliveries for absent housemates, sharing delivery fees for group orders, and storing food in shared fridges. Label your items clearly and respect others' food. Consider setting up group orders for popular restaurants to save on delivery fees.
Check window seals and drainage before rainy season starts. Ensure you have adequate ventilation to prevent mold in humid conditions. Stock up on dehumidifiers or moisture absorbers. Know how to operate all fans and air-con units efficiently. Test that umbrellas and rain gear are accessible, and understand evacuation procedures if your area is flood-prone.
