For expats relocating to Singapore, it can be confusing just where and which place you and your family choose to live. It’s even more confusing considering you’re in a new environment in combination with the wide web of expat communities within the expat community as a whole! SRX property reduces that confusion with a list of considerations and tools SRX property provides you with.

The biggest factor to think about before you delve into the actual search is time. The period of your contract can give you an idea of the type of place you and your family can choose to make your home. Generally the shorter your term the higher rental price you can afford and the longer your term the lower the rental price you can afford.

Either way, as an expat, there’s a specific market for you. SRX believes that there are three things and a the right combination of them will make your expat rental a success.

The three things you want to think about are ease to the workplace, ease to places of leisure and ease to your children’s school. For all three you want to consider: commute time, various costs, proximity to other expats and proximity to popular expat venues.
