FAQs
Landed houses may require more frequent maintenance like roof repairs, plumbing work, or garden care that can disrupt daily routines. Understand notification procedures for maintenance work, temporary access restrictions, and how repairs might affect your room's utilities or accessibility. Plan accordingly for potentially longer disruption periods.
A common bedroom (smaller room without attached bath) is usually a fit for single renters who want a more budget-friendly option. You’ll trade privacy for affordability, so focus on good housemate fit, clear rules, and a layout that gives you a calm place to unwind.
With multiple rooms and potentially multiple air-con units, electricity costs can be substantial. Consider zoned cooling - only cool rooms that are in use. LED lighting throughout the unit reduces electricity consumption. If sharing with others, discuss fair splitting of utilities based on actual usage patterns rather than equal division.
Check the corridor and lift situation. If it’s a common corridor, people pass right by your door or window, affecting privacy. Corner units are quieter. Also see if the lift stops on your floor (some older blocks don’t), as you might need to take stairs if not.
More space means more maintenance responsibilities. Budget extra time and money for cleaning, air-con servicing for multiple units, and potential repairs across more rooms. Consider hiring help for regular cleaning or establish clear maintenance schedules if sharing. More space also means higher wear and tear on common areas.
Ground floor units offer easy access without lift dependency, convenient for moving furniture or groceries, and potential for small gardens or patios. However, they may have less privacy, more noise from foot traffic, and security concerns. High floor units provide better views, more privacy, less noise, and better ventilation, but depend on lift access and may be less convenient for daily errands.
Condos often run entirely on electricity (no city gas), so heavy air-con or hot water use can push up the power bill. Expect to split utilities—electricity, water, internet—with housemates. Clarify your share and which bills are included in your rent to avoid surprises.
North-facing units stay cooler but may have less natural light, while west-facing units get hot afternoon sun but brighter interiors. East-facing units get morning sun, and south-facing units receive consistent light throughout the day. Consider your lifestyle, air-con usage, and preference for natural light versus heat management.
