Your Trusted Guide to Singapore Property

Our relocation support begins with understanding your specific needs, including housing preferences, budget considerations, and any requirements from your employer. We provide orientation about Singapore's neighborhoods, explaining the characteristics and amenities of different areas. We then conduct property viewings based on your criteria, assist with lease negotiations, and coordinate with your employer's relocation team when applicable. Throughout your settling-in period, we remain available to answer questions about your new home and neighborhood.

Foreign ownership in Singapore is subject to certain regulations. Non-residents may purchase condominium units and apartments without restriction, but landed property purchases require approval from relevant authorities. Foreign buyers pay Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty on top of standard stamp duties. Our investment advisory service helps you understand these regulations, evaluates properties from an investment perspective, and connects you with legal and tax professionals who specialize in advising international property buyers in Singapore.

The timeframe varies depending on your specific requirements and market conditions. For expatriate rentals, many clients find suitable properties within two to four weeks of beginning their search. Investment property searches may take longer as we conduct thorough analysis. Diplomatic housing searches depend on specific requirements and security considerations. We recommend beginning your search before your planned move date when possible, and we work efficiently to identify options that meet your criteria.

Residential rental agreements in Singapore typically run for two years, though one-year leases are sometimes negotiable. Rental rates are usually stated monthly, and most landlords expect payment of the first month's rent plus one or two months' deposit before tenancy begins. Some agreements include clauses about rent review during the tenancy period. Tenants typically pay for utilities while landlords handle property tax and major maintenance. We review all agreement terms with you, explaining any clauses that may differ from practices in your home country.

To begin an effective property search, it helps to share your budget range, preferred neighborhoods or proximity requirements, desired property type and size, timeline for occupancy, and any specific requirements such as proximity to international schools or public transport. For investment searches, information about your investment objectives and timeline is helpful. For diplomatic housing, we understand some requirements may be discussed confidentially. We can guide you through these considerations during an initial conversation.
