FAQs
Yes. Many landed homes have two or three storeys, so you'll be using stairs daily. If you have young children or elderly family, consider safety (installing baby gates, sturdy handrails). Different floors give privacy with bedrooms separate from living areas, but you'll also be climbing up and down a lot.
Prepare a list of questions about utilities, maintenance, lease terms, and neighborhood amenities. Bring a measuring tape for furniture planning and take photos/videos for later comparison. Check water pressure, electrical outlets, mobile reception, and natural light. View properties at different times if possible to assess noise levels and traffic patterns.
1-bedroom units offer better work-life separation than studios with a dedicated bedroom for sleep and living area for work. You can have video calls without showing your bed, and maintain professional backgrounds. However, the limited space means you'll need efficient furniture and good organization. Consider noise levels from neighbors and ensure good internet connectivity for reliable remote work.
Aside from rent, you cover all ongoing costs. Budget for utilities (electricity, water, gas if any) and internet each month. If the unit has air-con, plan for regular servicing. You’re also responsible for minor maintenance like replacing light bulbs or filters. Basically, all household bills and upkeep fall to you.
Small spaces can impact mental health through feelings of claustrophobia, lack of privacy, and difficulty separating work and personal life. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent stuffiness and mold. Prioritize natural light and consider full-spectrum lighting for mood regulation. Make time for outdoor activities and social interaction to counteract potential isolation from compact living.
Older HDB flats have a rubbish chute inside – make sure its lid seals well to keep out odours and pests. Newer flats use a shared chute on each floor. If your flat is near that chute, you might catch an occasional smell, but it’s usually minor if kept clean.
Landed houses offer more space but lack condo facilities. You’ll likely get a bigger room and maybe a garden or yard to enjoy. However, you won’t have amenities like a pool or gym on-site. It’s a balance: more personal space and privacy in exchange for not having shared facilities.
Take advantage of amenities to justify higher rent costs. Use the gym instead of paying for external memberships, utilize the pool for exercise and relaxation, and book function rooms for gatherings. Many condos offer additional services like concierge, dry cleaning pickup, or maintenance services. Factor these conveniences into your rental value assessment.
