I am relocating from Dubai to Singapore and have spent a lot of time looking at housing costs (particularly on this www.singaporeexpats.com site.
I reckon that rents in Singapore are about 1/3 to 1/4 cheaper than Dubai for a 2 bedroom condo.
Nonetheless I read an article on the cost of living throughhout many world cities in the local Dubai newspaper that stated rents were consistently higher in Singapore than Dubai.
I am now suspicious that the apartment rents quoted on these internet sites is suddenly 'not available' or 'already gone' and I am told that there is more avilable at a higher price. Am i being too suspicious.
Can anyone alse say if there are any other hidden costs apart from agency commissions, etc
Thanks
