FAQs
HDB flats are government-built public housing with practical layouts and affordable rent, but fewer amenities. Condominiums are private developments with facilities like pools and gyms, but higher rent and management fees. Landed houses offer the most space and privacy with gardens, but are the most expensive and may be further from public transport. Each serves different lifestyle needs and budgets.
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.
Most 4-bedroom units have one master bedroom with ensuite, and three smaller bedrooms sharing 1-2 additional bathrooms. Some premium units offer two master suites. Common areas typically include larger living/dining spaces and bigger kitchens to accommodate family needs. Check if bedrooms are clustered together or spread throughout the unit for privacy considerations.
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.
Ask about air-con use and costs. Many HDB owners let you run it at night but expect you to share the electricity bill or servicing costs. Check that the air-con unit is working well. If it's older, it might be noisier or less efficient.
Common rooms near front doors or main corridors may have security considerations. Ensure your room has a good lock and consider a door chain. Keep valuables secured and curtains closed for privacy. Check if the main door has proper security features. Some tenants install small safes or use lockable storage boxes for important documents and valuables.
Ask about work schedules, sleep schedules, social habits, cleanliness, and how issues are handled. If one of you is very neat and the other more casual, it could cause friction. Observe fridge organization, sink state, and bathroom tidiness during viewing. Look for someone whose daily routine and approach to shared living align well with yours. Trust your instincts – feeling comfortable with their personality is a good sign.
