Thanks... That does help lay things out...
Priorities:
- your budget (approx range) - $3.3k-$4k
- your workplace/s (don't name names, just approx neighbourhood) Tampines
- the size and/or type of
property that you are seeking (#bedrooms, on-site facilities etc) preferably 3 bedrooms, would consider 2 bed + study, swimming pool, balcony, over 1200 sq ft
- will you have a car here? No
- proximity to transport required. MRT-subway/buses/the airport/Malay border post (if so, which one). Close to an MRT station (within 400-500metres)
- will you have any accompanying children needing to attend school? If so, age/s? A son aged 2... Won't start school for 2-3 more years, so not overly important at present
- are you looking at private (international/fee-paying, or local schools?) an
International School in 2019
- will your employer being funding any fees; or will you, 'out of pocket'? Part funded, out of pocket by half
- is remaining within a national curriculum important; if so what nationality are you? Australian curriculum is preferred
- have you identified any such schools yet? Australian school, however would consider other
International Schools
Nice to have:
- will you need to be able to say walk to the local shops, a library, your doctor, a market, and so on? Walk to local shops, swimming pool in
condo, reasonably close to a park would be great also!
- access to any specific sport, social, and recreation facilities? Not so important
- are you considering bringing any pets. If so what kind, and will they require outdoor access and/or exercise?
- are you considering bringing any parents/in-laws etc? Do they have specific needs (for example difficulty climbing stairs?) no
Your current home and commute:
- are you already a city dweller? i.e. Are you used to city-centre hustle and bustle, or would you hope for a bit more peace and quiet? But more piece and quiet. We live in a leafy suburb in Australia within 30 minute drive of a city centre. We enjoy outdoors, parks, etc. and would still like to be 30-40 mins commute into the city (obviously via public transport) on weekends, etc.
- what is the size and type (apartment, house+garden etc) of your current home? 3 bedroom house, large plot
- what are any current commute times like? 20-30 mutes drive
I hoped this helps
