Many misunderstandings or misconceptions can be prevented from the onset when you engage our services. We seek to eliminate the different risks for you and negotiate the best deal in your interest. 

This is how our tenancy team can add value to you.

Step 1
Orientation

If you are new to Singapore, it will be useful to be get information on the types and options of housing in our country and their respective price ranges. We are more than happy to organise an orientation tour for you way before your relocation dates are firmed up, so as to help you avoid a regrettable housing decision.

Our country is typically defined by smaller, confined spaces and from where you moved from, you could be unprepared for many lifestyle and cultural differences. For example, many apartments or even houses do not come installed with dishwashers. If this is part of your must-have list, it will be useful if someone has informed you beforehand.

As a rule of thumb, the older the apartment, the larger the space. In land scarce Singapore, it will be useful to define the type of space and amenities you require so as to be shortlist the right category of homes.

Step 2
Sift Through Listings

On your own, you could probably find this step the most annoying.
You set your eyes on the photos displayed to you through different advertisement mediums but face disappointments after disappointments that these homes are no longer for rent, put on hold, or worse, they all belong to the same listing.

Delegate this time-wasting, frustrating process to us.

Let us make the calls and we will produce to you a neat list of homes fit and available for you to view.
All that is required from you is to run through this list and put a check on those you want to proceed or view.

Therefore, when needed, we go to the extent of hiring a personal chauffeur for you so that we can cover as many homes as we can on one trip.

Rent Evaluation

Step 5
Negotiation

Many tenants are unable to get the homes they desire after several attempts because they are unfamiliar with local culture.  Some landlords may feel intimidated when an initial offer is too low and disregard any future offers. At the same time, some tenants may be over enthusiastic and fail to achieve preferential terms from the onset which will be detrimental upon tenancy renewal.

This is often thought to be a mundane and risk free step but truly, not the case at all.

For example, verifying property ownership is a pertinent step to ensure you pay your deposits to the rightful recipient. Legal suits have been raised on fraudulent parties acting as owners when they were just employees of with no authorised rights to receives transaction monies. 

When you deal direct with Landlord's representative, this step is often omitted by them.

Also, it may seem easy for you to navigate and comprehend the terms of our local tenancy agreement.  What you fail to note is that some critical clauses or terms may be left out unintentionally. For example, when the need for the landlord to pay for chemical cleaning of air conditioners is not indicated, these costs will be passed on to you.  And are you aware of the repercussions for omitting the clause  'approval by mortgagee ?'
