Asked by
I am currently live in Korea but I may move to Singapore soon.

I am looking for the house where myself, wife and 1 year-old baby.

I really have no idea how much the cost will be but can you estimate how much the rental cost will be?

My office address is 60 MacPherson Road and I hope the distance is not that long.

Clean, cheap, 3 bedroom are preferable.

Please give me some advice.

Thank you.

Hi Mr Kwon,

Other than being near to your office location, is there any other thing that you are looking at for the place you are going to rent? For example a big kitchen such that your missus can prepare dinner? Or a nice swimming pool such that your baby can have fun in?

If you do not need any of the above, I'd suggest you look at renting public housing. Let me know when will you be available for house viewing and I can show you a few houses which are reasonably priced?

It's great to know that you will relocating to Singapore soon.

Hi,

I have korean friends in Singapore.
Singapore is quite an expensive place to stay.
If money saving is more important than location, you can find areas in the north, yishun sembawang, woodlands... and stay in normal 3 bedroom unit of public flats(we call HDB), pricing about 2.3 to 2.4k monthly. Anyway, singapore is very small and the public transport is convenient and cheap. So if you travel to work place, will be easy too.

Let me know when you are coming and prepare your family members photocopy of passport & company employment letter.

You can email me at raymondmindlink@gmail.com
I can introduce you to my korean friend. He can speak your language, and things can work out faster.

If you got more budget, and want convenient more than saving money, we can see some units around your work place.

Rgds,

    Hello Raymond,

    I'd like to choose you as a single contact for real estate.
    I am okay with speaking English so, I don't need your Korean friend to help me out.

    I will be in Singapore this Sunday night (Aug 19th) and return to Korea on Aus 22nd.

    Can we meet at the Aug 20th afternoon if you can show me some real estate or any introduction?

    I do not know anything about Singapore real estate.

    There are many types of estate like HDB, Condo, master room, studio,,, and I don't know the exact meaning of that..

    Anyway, I guess I will be locationg to Singapore from Oct 1st and I like to preview the real estate. (please note that, can not contract at this time as offical relocation to be fixed at the beginning of Sep.).

    I will be living with my wife and 16 month old baby.

    As living cost is extremly high, I am even considering 1 bed room or max 2 bed rooms now.

    Can we meet on Aug 20th / can you give me some advice if my budget is approx S1500 / month?

Still looking for answers?
