A 2 bedroom serviced apartment in Singapore is not a usual choice for solo-living individuals who do not need more than one room for their lifestyle. Realtors and other sales professionals recommend a studio or one-bedroom flat to these clients. However, that is not the case for me.
What if I tell you choosing a double-bedroom unit was the best thing that happened to a solo-living person like me? Let me share my experiences below:
WHY I WAS IN THE MARKET
To start things off right, I was in the market for a new rental scheme because the time already came. I am working a stable corporate job in the city, my finances are in check, and finally capable of renting the property of my dreams. Also, I did not initially plan on getting a double-bedroom unit because any service apartment for rent in Singapore is already enough for me. All I needed was the bare minimum and the basic living necessities.
IMAGINING MY IDEAL PROPERTY
At first, I did not have an idea of the perfect property of my dreams because all I needed was the basics: A bedroom, a fully-equipped kitchen, and everything else for survival. It was a bit difficult, but thankfully the realtor helped me visualise the pad of my dreams. After rounds of consultations, I have decided to look for a one-bedroom unit that suits my lifestyle.
EXPLORING MY OPTIONS
Exploring my options was a bit difficult because all properties seem promising, well, on the surface, to say the least. Option A looks like the most eligible one that makes me want to receive the keys from the broker, but something is missing I could not pinpoint. On the other hand, option B ticks all the boxes, but there was an obvious deal breaker that made me turn back. In short, it was a matter of weighing the pros and cons wisely.
DECIDING ON A PROPERTY
Securing an apartment for rent in Singapore at the best monthly price was one of my goals. However, there were other boxes I wanted to tick. It probably took a few weeks to a month before signing a contract with the real estate professional. I have made a few site visits, meetings with them, and even trips to the hardware store because some of my options were bare units.
THE LAST-MINUTE CHANGE
Here was the fun part: I suddenly switched to a two-bedroom property because I fell in love with a particular property. Also, it made me realise that a solo-living person like me would have been able to maximise everything, such as having a storage space for my belongings or even turning the extra space into my home office.
Getting the keys to my two-bedroom space was one of the best things that have happened to me. On top of that, the realtor guided me throughout the process and made sure to meet my needs.
