Hi, my husband and I will relocate to Singapore 2 months later, his office will be near Raffles Place MRT.
We only want to spend S$5000/month for rent. Which districts/areas will you recommend to rent that is not too far from town, 3 bedroom+Maid room, at least 1800+Sqft, 10 to 15mins walk from MRT, and 10 to 15mins walk to supermarket, shops & eatery?
Do we have to pay commissions & stamp duty? or these will be paid by landlord?

Hi Madam,

Good morning from Singapore.
Raffles Place MRT is the interchange for East-West (Green) and North-South (Red) MRT Line.
In my opinion, looking for somewhere within 5 MRT station away from Raffles Place MRT station will be great.
District 3, 7 and 11 will be ideal.
Your budget is good enough for your requirement.
Stamp duty must be paid by tenant and the amount is subjected to the rental period and monthly rental.
Please give me your contact (mobile and email), I can send you the stamp duty calculator.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi, there are several condo around Raffles Place area and thus you would have some choices to make. Stamp duty is to be borned by the tenant but as for the commission, you do not have to pay any if you are going for a 2 years lease as your servicing agent will share the commission with the landlord agent. Pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

Welcome to Singapore!

Join us on our facebook group "New Singapore Expats" and mingle around with fellow expatriates who have just arrived in Singapore too. Pick up tips and useful information about settling into Singapore.

1800sqf space in Singapore at $5000 budget range are usually for older projects. The newer and modern projects typically do not boast such spaces, aside from penthouses and ground floor units. In terms of commission, in a typical scenario where landlord's agent is sharing with your appointed agent, you do not need to pay, however, do take note that it is not a standard or requirement that landlord's agent has to share therefore if you are not prepared to pay the commission, you have the tendency to miss out on some choice units.

As for the stamp duty, it is to be borne by the tenant and calculated as 0.4% of the total rent payable for that rental agreement.

I hope I do not bore you with the above texts and I do look forward in continuing my services to the expatriate group who are arriving in Singapore and continuing their stay in Singapore. Hope to hear from you soon and see you on the facebook group.

Hi,

Commision is not payable, as its shared between the landlord agent. Perhaps you could write to me more on your requirements : type, budget, profile, location, lease tenure / commencement etc and I will get ready with a list of units to view. You're walked step by step and my covers you in all aspects- shortlisting, negotiation, paperwork and more!
