TIPS FOR LANDLORDS
 
FOR HISTORICAL RECORDS ONLY
ASIAHOMES' 2000 HOUSE HUNTING REPORT
 
Case study and house hunting schedule.

Requirements: 
German national.  2500-3000 sq. ft  4 bedroom condo.  Office at Shenton Way.  No children. The wife was in Germany but she wants a residential greenery residential quiet type area.

Problem: There are no downtown newer condos of over 2500 sq. ft at the $9,000 budget as at Sep 2, 2000. These rent $12,000 - $16,000.

The UE Square condo has not impressed many Caucasians due to its box-like office appearance. However, the Landlords are willing to be more flexible with rental demands and the UE Square penthouse may be closer to his type of accommodation.  

The realtor hurt dropped something on her toe and cancelled appointment.  Persuaded to show at 6.15 p.m. The agent had a good injection from the doctor and could walk.  Had she not turned up, she would have missed a possible closing.

Top choice. UE Square condo has great location, near to Clarke Quay, free bus shuttle to City Hall subway, many taxis and the best pubs, most important for  this German expat.

Comments
Aspen Heights 4+1 1600 6500 Demolition of Imperial Hotel view in Block 261, 9th floor.  Too small.  Penthouses of 2700 sq. ft  renting from $10,000 not available.
UE Square Penthouse
5 3098 9000 Riverwing lobby. 18th floor. Duplex, facing Aspen Heights. Neighbouring unit rented at $8,800.  Huge family area upstairs. 2 bedrooms downstairs. Master bedroom upstairs and 2 other rooms at the other end. No balcony. Brighter (facing West).
Spring Grove 4+1 1800 8000 Unblocked views of Regency Park and city, facing pool on left hand side from the small balcony.  Too small.
Robin Close bungalow 5+1 7300 sq. ft land
3400 sq. ft built in
8500 Quiet cul de sac. Big rooms. Suits expats with large families.  Near Stevens Road and 5-min drive to Orchard Road.   Prestigious residential area.  No pool.
Futura 4+1 2800 8300 Renovated completely in pastel colours and impressed the expat.
3rd floor with green trees view.  Pte lift.
All showers, no long baths.  72 units only.  Pool, gym, tennis court and 7-min walk to Orchard subway.  
Futura 4+1 2930 6500 Original condition. 19th floor.   Carpeted.  Rusty areas seen.  Good views.  The agent turned up 30 minutes late.
Melrose Park
4+1 1800 7000 Blk 1, 12th floor with ensuite guest room. Impressed with quality but too small.

Horizon Towers
West

4+1 2440 8000 Renovated. 14th floor.   Landlord will pay all minor repairs and air conditioner servicing.  Looks brighter in the afternoon.  7-minute walk to Orchard subway.
Horizon Towers
East
4+1 2600 8000 Renovation in progress. 13th floor.  However, 3 bathrooms each have navy blue bathrooms and wall, glossy green bathroom and wall tiles, beige bathroom and wall tiles (master bathroom).  Enamel coating of bathrooms should be done in matted white as this will suit Caucasians. Owners may like various colours of blue pink and green for bathrooms, but Caucasians like pastel ones and white is the best choice.
Lucky Tower 4+1 2700 7500 13th floor. Condo upgraded last year and has a new pool and gym.  Impressed with wooden stripped living, dining and balconies off the living and master bedroom. 

However, the kitchen floor has greenish yellow tiles.  Huge maid's room  (unrenovated). Tips for landlords:  To rent faster, it is best to renovate 100 % rather than 90%.
Crystal Tower 4+1 3000 8000 Renovated. 3rd floor.
Glossy white ceramic tiles.  Balcony enclosed resulting in a very big living area stretching over 40 feet wide. Quality bathroom accessories in white impressed the expat.  Sea blue kitchen cabinets with deep blue borders do not appeal to most Caucasians.  Good for expats who want value for money and low density of 28 units.    
Jalan Kembang Melati
corner terrace
4+1 4500 sq. ft land
3500sf built in
9000 New. 3-stories. Small plunge pool.  Next to flyover but good sound proofing.  Rarely will expats will rent houses next to a busy road.
No decisions were made during this house-hunting tour. House-hunting tours can be like "free" tourism tours as some expatriates don't use just one realtor. So, many realtors who have poor choices or don't know what the expatriate wants, conduct such tours and get no income at all.
