what about TV (we've got plasma tv)? and PC? do they chew up the electricity bill too?

thanks for the information again and sharing your experiences. We really want to conserve as much electrical expenses as we possibly can, but not to the detriment of our welfare i suppose. so looks like again, air-conditioning is the major utilities expenses contributor in the house, regardless of a...

My post above was for a terrace house with tiny garden and four people living, both for the low and high bill I mentioned. Our bills of below S$100/month (average) jumped up to over S$150/month when one of the house-mates started using the aircon in his room at night. cool thanks! what abt family s...

thanks! sounds like on average, most of the costs come from air-conditioning and/or other electrical appliances like water heater. anyone has got average util bills per month for a terrace unit? there's not much of garden space, so water usage will be minimal. cheers, We are a couple with no childre...

of course, i had done searches but nothing what i'm looking for. Ok, here's the specs: > 3 Bedroom terrace, 2 levels, 3 air-conditioning upstairs (each room has 1), 1x air conditioning living area only. > family of 4, myself, wife, the second-wife (just kidding), 1x 5 yo, 1x 1 yo children. average 5...

anyone has any ideas please?

hi,

i'd like to find out the average cost of utilities per month for a landed property, 3 Bedrooms for

> Electricity
> Gas
> Water

others?


Thanks.

this looks promising then.

with all these Full refunds, did you have to go through lots of trouble?

cheers,

You know it's not even the condition that you pay extra deposit and get it back after 1 yr- it just seems like these people are swindling you. If they can get away with this they may try extra tricks down the road. I have never heard of this before and i've met many many agents in my years here. I ...

Rexwxr - not this does not sound right at all - i have never heard of anyone needing to pay an extra 2 months good faith deposit and getting it back at 1 yr into the contract. My advice is to stand clear of these people, it sounds so so dodgy!!!! hi maca, thanks for the advise, i too find that unco...

We got it refunded in full on the day we hand over the keys. It was after 7 years of staying in the place. What we damaged we fixed earlier (including sanding of the parquet in one room). Personally I think there is a clear problem here but you also have to realize that only problems tend to surfac...

so who gets their deposit back?

i'm running a poll

hi,

who gets their FULL security Deposit REFUNDED to them when their lease ends?

And if yes, were there any troubles in getting the refund? If not, what happened to the leased property? Any damages, etc?

Thanks.

I'm in the middle of moving with Crown Relocations from Sydney to Singapore. They have both and Australian and Singapore/Malaysian branch and are doing the full door-to-door with both sea & air freight. Thanks for the recommendation. I've already talked to Crown, but apparently it will take them 3-...

This does sound a bit strange. They can ask for a 2 month 'security deposit' or bond for a 2 year contract, but not a good faith deposit on top of that - i mean what is a good faith deposit anyway when you have paid the security deposit. I thought that if you sign a 2 year contract, you only need t...
