FAQs
Consider your long-term needs and budget carefully. 4-bedroom units cost significantly more in rent and utilities, but offer future flexibility as families grow. The extra space can serve as home offices, guest rooms, or hobby areas. However, if you won't use the space effectively, a 3-bedroom might be more economical. Factor in the cost per square foot and your actual space utilization.
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.
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.
Condos regularly conduct fogging for mosquito control, especially during dengue seasons. You'll receive advance notice to close windows and stay indoors during fogging. Remove or cover food, drinks, and personal items that might be affected. Understand the schedule and duration of these activities, and plan your day accordingly. Some buildings also do regular pest control that may require temporary room access.
2-bedroom units typically cost 60-80% more than 1-bedroom units, but when shared between two people, can be more economical per person than individual studios. Factor in additional costs like higher utility bills with more space to cool and light. Consider whether the extra space and privacy justify the higher cost for your lifestyle and budget.
Condo living often attracts young professionals and expatriates, creating diverse, international housemate communities. Expect higher living standards and potentially more transient housemates who may move frequently for work. The facilities create natural social opportunities - you might meet neighbors at the pool or gym. However, this can also mean more temporary relationships compared to HDB community living.
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.
Master rooms cost more because they’re typically the largest room and come with an attached bathroom. You’re paying a premium for the extra space, privacy, and convenience. They may also get better wardrobes, windows, and layout. Premiums vary by location, building type, and whether utilities are included.
