There are so many things, and people, involved in selling, buying, renting, or leasing a property in Singapore. There’s you, of course, and the agents, the lawyers, the mortgage brokers. Sellers deal with buyers, and vice versa.
The process can get convoluted as well, especially for first-timers. From all the different rules and regulations for the different types of properties here in Singapore (HDB, EC, landed, condo, etc), to the documents needed, and even the payment timelines to remember.
With so many things to remember and stay updated on, there’s bound to be confusion and panic among current and hopeful homeowners.

Real Estate, Real Advice: Episode 3 – The Best & Worst Months To Do Renovation According to An I.D.
Home renovations can be one big hit or miss, depending on the contractors you hire. And your ideas for your “perfect” home?

Some interior design themes just don’t translate that well in Singapore homes. That’s where the experts come in. Ohmyhome’s Senior Interior Designer Josef Ponce chats with host Audrey Siek answers everyone’s FAQ and spills the tea on the best and worst months to embark on a home renovation journey. (He’s been in the game for a long time, he’s seen some things and knows the real deal.)
