UNDERSTAND YOUR RENTAL NEEDS

Before hunting for a place to rent, first ask yourself what are your ‘must haves’:

1. Size of property & number of bedrooms

2. Age of property - Newer properties usually have better fittings/fixtures but also tend to be less spacious then older properties

3. Location - Near your office, near shops and amenities, walking distance to MRT, bus stop, near school etc

4. Surroundings - Greenery, tranquility, city living etc
 

5. Having an open area - e.g. garden, porch, patio, balcony

By telling me what you want, I can better provide you with a more precise property search that will match your needs. So you can find your ideal place faster and easier.
