FAQs
Maximize vertical space with over-door organizers, under-bed storage boxes, and wall-mounted shelves that don't require drilling. Use multi-functional furniture like storage ottomans. Check if you can use common area storage like store rooms or if the landlord allows additional furniture.
Ventilation and sunlight can make a small room feel more comfortable and livable. Natural light makes the space feel more open and pleasant, and it can even improve your mood. See if it has a window that opens to outdoors (and not just into a corridor or airwell). Good ventilation and light are key for your daily comfort in that space.
Landed houses often have higher utility consumption due to larger spaces and multiple floors. Air-conditioning costs can be significant with bigger rooms and common areas. Water usage may be higher with garden watering. Discuss how utilities are split among housemates and whether there are caps or guidelines for usage to avoid bill shock.
Studio entertaining requires creativity due to limited space. Use folding furniture and multi-purpose items to accommodate guests. Consider the noise impact on neighbors in compact buildings. Overnight guests will need to sleep in your main living space, which affects your privacy. Plan gatherings during times when space can be reconfigured for socializing.
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.
Generally, HDB flats are most affordable, condominiums cost 30-50% more than comparable HDB units, and landed houses are the most expensive. However, prices vary significantly by location - a prime location HDB might cost more than a suburban condo. Factor in additional costs like condo maintenance fees, landed house utilities, and transport expenses when comparing total housing costs.
Not typically. You’ll rely on public gyms, community clubs, and neighbourhood pools. Many tenants prefer HDBs for value and convenience to everyday shops and transport.
Look for persistent damp smells, water stains, mold, warped wood, peeling paint, pest traces, and poor ventilation. Test taps, appliances, windows, and locks. If something seems off or the landlord avoids answering questions, consider it a red flag.
