    We love it and we are so glad we took the time to work out what we wanted. What do you think?

    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.

    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.

  • @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
      @RobandJenny  Před 2 lety

      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!

    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…

    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.

    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.
