FAQs

Living alone means you bear all utility costs, so efficiency matters. Use programmable thermostats for air-conditioning, switch to LED lighting, and unplug devices when not in use. Consider your usage patterns - cook in batches, do laundry efficiently, and use appliances during off-peak hours if available. Monitor your monthly bills to identify high-consumption periods and adjust habits accordingly. Some units benefit from smart home devices to optimize energy usage.

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.

Open kitchens feel social and spacious but spread cooking smells. Closed kitchens contain noise and grease better. Think about your cooking style, ventilation, and how often you host. The right choice depends on whether you prioritize openness or cleanup ease.

Clarify responsibility for mowing, pruning, sweeping, and bin management. Agree on weed control and handling of fallen leaves after storms. If a gardener is included, confirm frequency and scope. Outdoor upkeep keeps pests down and protects your deposit.

Typically, there's a built-in wardrobe in the bedroom and cabinets in the kitchen. Some 1-bedroom flats include a small storeroom or utility closet. Use vertical space by adding shelves in empty spots. And choose furniture with storage, like a bed with drawers or an ottoman that opens.

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.

1-bedroom units offer better entertaining space than studios with separate living areas. However, overnight guests may need to use a sofa bed in the living room. Consider the bathroom situation - ensure guests don't need to go through your bedroom to access facilities. The kitchen size may limit your ability to cook for larger groups.

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.
