FAQs
Look for layouts where bedrooms don't directly face each other for better privacy. Check if both bedrooms have windows for natural light and ventilation. Consider whether the kitchen is open or closed to the living area - open kitchens feel spacious but cooking smells spread. Ensure there's adequate storage throughout the unit, not just in bedrooms.
Usually, but not always. Some ‘master’ rooms share a bathroom. Confirm if it’s attached, exclusive, and ventilated, and check water pressure, heater type, and any morning queue issues.
Corner units typically offer better ventilation, more natural light, additional windows, and sometimes larger layouts. They may also have less shared walls with neighbors, providing more privacy. However, they might be more expensive and could be noisier if facing main roads or having more external exposure.
Verify the main tenant has landlord approval to sublet by asking to see the original lease agreement. For HDB rooms, check that the flat meets minimum occupancy requirements and ethnic quota rules. Ensure the person renting to you is actually authorized - meet them in person and verify their identity. Get everything in writing including house rules, deposit terms, and notice periods. Be wary of cash-only transactions or reluctance to provide documentation.
Yes. Check that there’s an aircon in each bedroom and the living room. Make sure they all work. Also note the number of power outlets in each room. Some older flats have few sockets, so ensure there’s one where you plan to put your TV or computer. If not, you’ll need extension cords. Knowing this upfront helps you plan.
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.
Teenagers require more privacy and independence than younger children. Consider bedroom assignments that provide adequate separation from parents and siblings, ensure good soundproofing for music and phone calls, and discuss household rules about friends visiting. Plan for increased utility usage and potential need for additional internet bandwidth or separate study spaces.
Landed houses may have multiple entry points, ground-level access, and outdoor areas requiring different security considerations. Check all locks, consider motion sensors or security systems, and understand neighborhood security patterns. Establish routines for securing the property and coordinate with neighbors if appropriate.
