Why move to Singapore?

Top Asian City for Expatriates

Singapore boasts one of the lowest crime rates in the world. On top of a zero-tolerance policy to drugs, illegal riots and protests, laws are strictly enforced to assure a safe environment for all.

Singapore’s internationally-recognised education system consistently ranks high in the global charts. From preschool to university education, your child will not fall short of receiving top-tiered learning whichever stage they are. 

Bloomberg ranked Singapore’s healthcare system as the world’s most efficient, and said the country is the healthiest in the world. There are plenty of public and private health institutions to choose from, and the service is reasonably priced as long as you are insured.

Singapore is one of the best cities for business due to a stable government, strong currency, high-quality infrastructure and a motivated workforce. This is on top of the fact that English is the most commonly spoken language among locals.

Singapore’s Changi Airport, often recognised as the World’s Best Airport, is one of the largest transportation hubs in Asia. Benefit from the country’s good international relations, and expect many direct flights to other major hubs around the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We’ve got the answers. If you don’t see your question here, drop us a message. We’re happy to assist. 

Ideally, you should start planning early and prepare back-up plans in the event that things do not go according to plan. We recommend that you start making enquiries and appointing service providers a minimum of three months prior to your planned moving date. 

Yes, certainly. Ohmyhome recognises relocations as a significant and major change for most individuals and families. This is why we provide a one-stop shop that offers convenience, value and quality services to all our customers.

Generally, the supply of properties for rent in Singapore is good and you should be able to have a reasonable range of properties to select from especially if you are looking for a condominium. It usually takes only three to four weeks to locate a property and conclude the paperwork.

Step 1: Chat with us 

Reach us on our live chat on the right bottom corner, we’re just a click away. Let us understand your needs.

Step 2: A real estate agent with expatriate home-finding will be assigned to you
Upon recognising your requirements, an agent with the relevant experience will be assigned to you.

From here, your agent should guide you to identify your needs. This will allow you and your family to have a careful think through, addressing any special concerns, priorities or questions you may have.

Step 3: Home-hunting begins

Your dedicated agent will research and identify suitable homes to ensure they meet your criteria prior to your arrival.

Step 4: Tour homes, physically or virtually
Depending on your availability, the agent will arrange viewing appointments with the representatives of the selected properties and accompany you to inspect them virtually or physically.

Step 5: Shortlist your favourite homes

Let your agent know which property appeals to you the most. If necessary, repeated viewing may be arranged for your final evaluation and decision.

Step 6: Make an offer
Your agent will help to draft your rental offer and terms to the landlord in a Letter Of Intent. This is accompanied with a holding deposit (equivalent to one month of rental) to indicate your interest in renting the property.

Step 7: Negotiating and finalising the lease
Your agent will assist with the ensuing negotiations on the tenancy terms with the landlord or landlord’s representatives. Upon conclusion, they will assist with lease signing, coordination of payment of the balance deposit/advance rental payments, and arrange for legal stamping of the documents.

Step 8: Prepare for the move-in
Your agent will assist in setting up the tenancy service contracts (if any), advise you on the application of various services (utilities, telephone, internet, etc.), and follow up with the landlord and/or landlord’s representative to coordinate a final date for property take-over.

Step 9: Settle in
During the take-over of the property from the landlord overseen by your agent, inventory lists and property condition reports will be prepared and documented. A 30-day defect warranty period is usually provided.
