<\/div>

Buying a resale unit is like going to a new restaurant with friends. You stare at the menu, and try to guess what\u2019s good. When it finally arrives, you see what everyone else has and wish you\u2019d ordered <\/span>that. \u00a0<\/span><\/i>We\u2019re going to try to take away the sting of regret, with a few quick tips:<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 1: Either go low or go high, but don\u2019t go between<\/b><\/h3>\n

In doubt as to <\/span>which floor to buy<\/span><\/a>? Then either stick to the bottom three floors, or the topmost floors. <\/span><\/p>\n

The bottom floors provide accessibility, whereas the top floors provide a better view. The middle floors sometimes provide the worst of both. You\u2019re far enough from the ground floor that you need wait for the lift, but not high enough to see beyond the next block.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, if you’re looking at buying a condo and there’s a pool, the lower-floor of the pool-facing stacks might actually offer a better view instead, because too high and you won’t be able to see the pool from inside your home.<\/p>\n

\"Airbnb
Sometimes this is all you see if you pick the middle floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tip 2: Check the passenger waiting time for the lift<\/b><\/h3>\n

Like all 99.co employees, we bet you can\u2019t <\/span>wait<\/span><\/i> to get to work in the morning, and win employee of the month when Human Resource reads your article. <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it pays to check the passenger wait time, for the elevator. From your floor to the ground floor, how long does it take? As a rule of thumb, anything under 40 seconds is excellent, whilst 90 seconds is about average (for purely residential units). <\/span><\/p>\n

Remember that on certain occasions \u2014 like Hari Raya, Christmas, Chinese New Year, and so on \u2014 everyone\u2019s relatives will come visiting. Also, there may be times when one lift is unavailable, due to maintenance or someone moving into the estate. If there\u2019s only two lifts for over a hundred residents, you can be in for some frustrating waits. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 3: Beware choosing a resale unit that faces directly East or West<\/b><\/h3>\n

The sun will shine directly into your unit, if it faces East or West. Then you\u2019d better have the mother of all air-conditioners installed, because you\u2019re going to feel like a snowball in a microwave.<\/span><\/p>\n

The unit with the morning sun, however, is still more preferable than the unit with afternoon sun. If units with a north-south orientation aren’t available or desirable, try to pick an \u201cangled\u201d unit; units facing north-east or south-east<\/strong>\u00a0enable you to enjoy a bit of sunlight in the morning (for a little dose of Vitamin D) and avoid the perils of the afternoon sun altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 4: Check how close you are to the road, carpark, or MRT line<\/b><\/h3>\n

Do you savour the nuanced honk of bus 427 every evening? Does the rattling of you windows and bed, as the MRT passes nearby, comfort you like a soothing massage?<\/span><\/p>\n

If not, you\u2019d best consider the distance between the resale unit, and these noisy features. Note that there\u2019s a bit of a trade-off involved here: the ground floor will spare you elevator wait times, but tends to be closer to these disruptions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The top floors may be quieter in certain instances, but it means waiting longer for the elevator.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 5: Use a measuring tape and record measurements onto the floor plan<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you have a certain layout in mind (e.g. dining table, feature wall, television room), then always \u2013 and we mean <\/span>always <\/span><\/i>\u2013 take measurements with a tape measure and record it on the floor plan. Never walk around the resale unit, and try to mentally approximate what will go where. But unless you\u2019re an interior designer\/contractor, mental approximation will always lead to an end result that ends up looking very different from the real thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"renovation
Make sure you know the exact dimensions of any home you’re interested in buying \u2014 don’t assume.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tip 6: You may end up hating the balcony<\/b><\/h3>\n

Balconies: you either love them or hate them. <\/span><\/p>\n

In our experience, people love the <\/span>idea <\/span><\/i>of a balcony more than the actual balcony itself. In theory, it\u2019s a place to relax and watch the sun go down. It\u2019s an exposed area that gets filthy every 15 seconds, despite your best efforts to clean it.<\/span><\/p>\n

(Also, NEA loves to check balcony areas for mosquito breeding. Good luck keeping it dry in December.) <\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, and if you have a west-facing resale unit (see tip 3), then we doubt you\u2019ll sit out on the balcony very often. Anyone who ventures there before 6:30pm will get more hot and sweaty than the inside of an NS man\u2019s armpit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, some people still swear by the wonders of balconies (usually those who have maids). Our recommendation, think hard about having a balcony, and perhaps have it lower on your priority list of your dream home. After all, you’re paying for the space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 7: Check the ventilation<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you can\u2019t view the actual property yet, then check the location of the block. Is there anything obstructing the windows? <\/span><\/p>\n

You also need to consider air flow within the unit itself. Where will the breeze come in from? And are there too many partitions or walls to allow good air circulation? The more enclosed the space, the more you\u2019ll need to rely on fans, air-conditioning, or straight up renovations to improve ventilation.<\/span><\/p>\n

If anyone in your family has respiratory issues (such as asthma), then it may be best to pick a higher unit, and one that’s not facing a main road. The higher up the unit, the better the ventilation tends to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a chart of Singapore’s prevailing wind directions throughout the year to help you pick a unit with the best ventilation.<\/p>\n

Tip 8: Note the proximity to sporting facilities (for private resale units)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Just so you know, some architects like to build basketball courts or tennis courts on top of condos (or very close to certain stacks). This sometimes works out fine. Other times, you can hear the game in detail, which defeats the purposes of buying the top floor unit. Every developer will insist on their perfect soundproofing, but you\u2019ll never know until it\u2019s too late.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a related note, check the distance from your unit to the nearby sporting facilities. There\u2019s usually more foot traffic passing by, if you\u2019re near the gym\/pool\/tennis court, etc. Also, the voices tend to travel far and wide, if there are large groups using the facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re sensitive to noise, pick a unit further away from the action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 9: Even if you don\u2019t believe in feng shui and lucky numbers, other people do<\/b><\/h3>\n

Maybe you have no issue living in apartment #04-44, or having a view that overlooks the nearby cemetery. We congratulate you on being a sensible and grounded individual, but remember that other people still believe it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unauspicious numbers and seemingly bad juju\u00a0<\/span>does <\/span><\/i>matter to some future buyers, and it may even affect your ability to rent out the unit. If you\u2019re an owner-occupier and you don\u2019t care, then go for it (you may even get a discount). But if you intend to re-sell or rent out, at least consider the consequences before going ahead. <\/span><\/p>\n
