FAQs
Having a private attached bathroom is convenient – no sharing with others. You can use it anytime without waiting. However, you’ll be responsible for keeping it clean (there’s no one else using it). Check that the ensuite has good ventilation or a fan, since moisture can build up. Ensure the drainage slope, water pressure and hot water in the shower are good when you inspect. Overall, an ensuite adds comfort and privacy, but comes with the task of sole upkeep.
Place your desk in the living area and keep the bedroom for sleep. Close the bedroom door for mental separation. Good habits around screen time help the space feel restful after hours.
Condo deliveries are usually held by security when you’re out. Couriers drop packages at the guardhouse or concierge instead of outside your door. You’ll be notified when something arrives so you can collect it. This keeps parcels secure, but you will need to pick them up from the guard post.
Some noise might travel, yes. If the two bedrooms share a wall, you may hear talking or TV from the other room. Layouts that put bedrooms on opposite sides of the living room help. Also, newer buildings often have thicker walls.
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.
Furnished units have basic furniture and appliances provided, so moving in is easy but inspect condition and note what’s included. Unfurnished units come empty, meaning you must furnish the place yourself. It’s more work upfront, but you get to decorate it your way. Consider delivery logistics, lift bookings, storage needs, and whether you’ll keep or sell items at lease end.
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.
Yes, a larger space usually means higher utility costs. In a 4-bedroom, you may run four or more aircon units plus more lights and devices, which adds up. More people/rooms also likely means more water usage. So expect to pay higher electricity and water bills than in a smaller unit. To manage costs, use AC and lights only when needed and choose energy-efficient appliances.
