FAQs
Generally, yes. Landed homes are often in quieter residential areas, so public transport might be a longer walk away. If you don’t drive, check how close the nearest bus stop or MRT is. You’re gaining a quiet environment but giving up some convenience of easy transport access.
Use thick curtains or blinds, consider a white noise machine for sound privacy, and establish quiet hours with housemates. Create personal space within your room with furniture arrangement, and communicate your need for privacy respectfully. Good locks and personal storage help maintain security.
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.
With multiple rooms and potentially multiple air-con units, electricity costs can be substantial. Consider zoned cooling - only cool rooms that are in use. LED lighting throughout the unit reduces electricity consumption. If sharing with others, discuss fair splitting of utilities based on actual usage patterns rather than equal division.
Research current market rates for similar properties to understand if the increase is reasonable. Highlight your positive tenancy record, prompt payments, and property care. Consider negotiating longer lease terms for rate stability, or propose smaller incremental increases. If the increase is excessive, be prepared to explore alternative housing options while maintaining a professional relationship.
Look for stains on ceilings, peeling paint, and musty smells after rain. Outside, inspect gutters, downpipes, and ground drains for blockages. Ask about recent roof repairs and how quickly water pooling or leaks are handled when reported.
Newer HDB estates offer modern fittings, better insulation, and more efficient layouts, but rooms may be smaller and rent higher. Older estates provide more spacious rooms and lower rent, but may have aging infrastructure and require more maintenance. Newer estates often have better accessibility features and integrated amenities, while older ones offer more character and established community networks.
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.
