I did Pilates sessions with Gemma for some localized pain, and I was very happy with her service. Her quality of delivering the service was on point, and if I had any questions about a certain Pilates movements, she was able to give me tips and explain in medical terms which muscles I was using. She was always on time, very respectful, very kind and professional. I think affordability was good too.

I’ve been using Brandon’s service regularly for several years now, and it’s been a very positive experience. The program is great, the coaches are great, and the community is warm, open, and welcoming. The space is clean and organized, the facilities are good, and overall it feels like one of the most competitive options in the market.

Amrita is an amazing baker and really dedicated to making sure any order is crafted to customer needs. I have ordered cakes from her several times, including parties for my son with a lot of boys at the rugby field, and she provided packaging and solutions so it was not troublesome at all to serve. The taste is amazing, and the cakes look very natural with flowers and edible leaves, really decent. I also like that I can rely on her for special occasions and personalized notes, and it always feels like good value for money.

What to know about real estate & accommodation in Singapore

Renting in Singapore moves fast, and the rules are stricter than newcomers expect. Private homes cannot be rented for less than three months and HDB flats for less than six, so short lets that look like a bargain are usually not legal. Every property agent must be registered with the Council for Estate Agencies, and the CEA public register lets you check a name, phone number or registration number yourself in seconds. Deposits are commonly set at one month's rent for each year of the lease, and stamp duty on the tenancy is the tenant's to pay. Locallista lists agents and accommodation specialists in Singapore, screened before listing and ranked only on phone-verified reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check my property agent is registered?
Search the CEA public register, which is free and updated daily. You can look someone up by name, registration number or the phone number they contacted you from, and it will also show which agency they work for. If a name does not appear, walk away.
Who pays the agent's commission?
It depends on the deal and should be settled before anyone starts work, not after. What matters more is that one agent cannot properly represent both sides at once, so be clear about whose interests yours is looking after, and get the arrangement in writing.
Is there a minimum rental period?
Yes, and it is not negotiable. Private residential homes have a three month minimum and HDB flats six months. Anything shorter is not allowed, so a listing offering a few weeks in a normal flat is either misunderstanding the rules or ignoring them.
Do I have to pay stamp duty on my lease?
Yes. Stamp duty on a tenancy agreement is normally the tenant's responsibility and is filed with IRAS shortly after signing. It is calculated from the rent and the length of the lease, and your agent will usually walk you through it, but the obligation is yours.
What should I check before signing a tenancy agreement?
The deposit amount and what can be deducted from it, who pays for repairs and at what threshold, the diplomatic clause if you might leave early, and whether the inventory list matches what is actually in the flat. Photograph everything on the day you move in.
How much do real estate agents cost in Singapore?
Real estate agents in Singapore charge sellers 1% to 2% of the price and landlords half to one month's rent, while buyers of new launches and most private resale flats pay nothing.
