SINGAPORE APARTMENT HUNTING | Budget, Viewings, Negotiations & more! *Our experience in 2021*

[@RobandJenny]

Hopefully this useful or interesting for you! You can see the full tour of the apartment we ended up with here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKHZYX-jmpmeotU We love it and we are so glad we took the time to work out what we wanted. What do you think?

[@mgproperties2957]

Setting a realistic budget for your new home will help inform what you can afford and how much your all-in costs will be. The purchase price isn’t the whole picture. Carefully factor in other expenses to determine what you can afford. Great video! This is really helpful.

Very comprehensive and thorough. Great job for anybody moving to Singapore. Keep up the good work.

[@RobandJenny]

Thank you that means a lot 🥰

[@haroldlo8624]

When my wife and I moved back to Sg from London nearly 3 years ago, we had a virtually identical list of criteria when we went apartment hunting. Didn’t take us long at all to find one that ticked all the boxes. Good call re location. No point in moving overseas if you’re not going to properly mix and mingle with locals.

[@RobandJenny]

thanks for the message. We were very lucky to get something that met pretty much everything we wanted :) Thanks for watching 😊

[@velliott3845]

This was such a help - thank you. We are just at the very beginning of the process of moving over from the UK, so all the advice was invaluable!

[@RobandJenny]

I'm so glad! That's exactly why we created this video ☺️

[@Soprano1638]

OOO I LOVE YOUR BLONDE HAIR JEN ❤️ Glad that you're all settled in xx

[@RobandJenny]

Thanks guuurl!!

[@maomi3672]

13:54 that view though!! Imagine waking up to that everyday and having morning coffee. Thank you for the video!

[@RobandJenny]

I know it was so tempting!! That place was too small for us though (for the price)

[@shotundemoses252]

Thank you! Considering that i and my family are moving into the country in january 2022, this is really helpful.

[@RobandJenny]

Glad to hear it! 🥰

[@kotteswariyuvarajdineshbab7554]

You said you didnt hire an agent. Is this possible now in 2023 without agent to directly close deal with owner in Singapore. Please reply

[@bsclaire]

Your requirements really reminded me of ours when we started our search for our new home when we returned from the UK… totally relatable. I’m a Singaporean btw, do feel free to buzz me should you need any help whilst staying here…

[@RobandJenny]

Thanks a lot for your message. Maybe we aren't too demanding then haha. 😂 Thanks a lot, will bear it in mind 😀

[@amberegan298]

Very helpful & detailed video!

[@RobandJenny]

Glad to hear it!! ☺️

[@warrenlim2461]

You can actually get 3 bedroom apartments for S$3,500. It will not be near town area but can be next to the MRT and well renovated.

[@RobandJenny]

Thanks for the info! Will keep a look out in the future. 😊

[@leezhiyu565]

can’t wait for the house tour~~

[@RobandJenny]

Check out th pinned comment! We will do another tour when we have all our furniture too 😊

[@anaisabelpulidolarrea5581]

Hello! I love the video! I have seen in another video that you have a cat, did you have to look for specific pet friendly apartments? That did not make it to the must-have list, is this something you have to inform the landlord upfront? Did you face problems with condos for the cat? Thanks for the info!

[@RobandJenny]

We didn't ask about it when looking because we didn't know then that we would be fostering. Landlords are generally more relaxed here about pets, just be aware that any damage they cause will come out of the deposit! We just checked our tenancy agreement and there was nothing about pets so we went ahead!

[@annakfan]

I am currently apartment hunting in Singapore so this is useful. Thanks

[@RobandJenny]

So glad it's helpful for you. Good luck!

[@Mnguyen90]

Rob and Jenny, thank you for the tips! So insightful. Thank you! Would you happen to have a template of the adjustments that you made to your tenancy agreement?

[@RobandJenny]

I'm glad you found it useful! No sorry we don't but feel free to DM us on Instagram if you are thinking of something specific 😊

[@weshz2429]

Glad see you again.

[@RobandJenny]

Thank you ☺️

[@keirapascual5425]

[@RobandJenny]

[@sunnybhalla24]

Very helpful. Can you tell me the name of your condo snd also the one u show in newton/orchard

[@RobandJenny]

Hey! We prefer not to share just to keep some privacy for our home, hope you understand 🙏

[@musavillarin6102]

Hello, can you explain in a video about how to get a job in Singapore online??? Because nowadays look like very difficult if you are not in Singapore..I am a fully qualify European

[@RegularGuy239]

which area did you choose?

[@angelia-allen]

So how did it go it’s a year later

[@RobandJenny]

We should make an update video 😂

[@aliphonse]

For 6000, you can get a really really good and big property with good location. On average 3000- 4000 you can get a decent apartment.

[@RobandJenny]

Great tip for those looking ☺️

[@sidlee9064]

them: budget 5k per month most foreigners: search propertyguru for the cheapest price near mrt and shengshiong/ntuc

[@foodleveling]

Nice sharing and find the rent in Singapore sometime have to try your luck too sometime the condo look new but after stay got some problem also have. Must choose carefully I Food leveling

[@RobandJenny]

Definitely! That's why we wanted to always go see in person

[@foodleveling]

@@RobandJenny Yes and please be careful bed bug too sometimes we can't see but after stay then we get bite on the bed or sofa

[@RobandJenny]

@@foodleveling 😳😳

[@senjugudin]

That budget is pretty high, must be quite easy to filter them out.

[@RobandJenny]

Thanks for the comment. Condos are quite expensive in Singapore so it was t as easy as we hoped. But not too bad! Happy with the result.

[@yeoharold4404]

I was hoping for a home tour.

[@RobandJenny]

We have an empty apartment tour on our channel ☺️

[@rebeccarussell939]

[@RobandJenny]
