Foundation: Whenever we learn a new skill, what matters the most is the foundation, so is the case of any building or property. Before you buy a landed property in Singapore, you should check your property or building for a strong foundation and take action immediately if you suspect a weak foundation.

If you buy landed property with a weak foundation, you will face the issue of adding more cost to make improvements in your property, while a property with a strong foundation will save you from this additional cost.

Roofing: Singapore homes come with a lot of design choices and customizations. Although the cost of customization and maintenance is expensive, and when it is about roofing, the price is higher. Usually, the roofing is damaged, in case of its color or leakage.

If you are looking for roof color maintenance, it can be repaired by using a chemical agent or bleach. Furthermore, if there is a continuous leakage, try to figure out the leakage spots and strains for repair.

Moisture: Moisture issue is the most common in properties with added basement. Again, the repairment cost is not low, so you have to take care of cracks if water or moisture is running into them because it can cause unwanted growth of mold.

Plumbing: Plumbing maintenance is never cheap, be it in Singapore or around. If you are looking for a Singapore property, make sure to check all the taps and water pipes in the housing property including, the toilet, bathroom, kitchen, and garden (if any) taps.

Fixtures and Appliances: Fixtures and appliances including, doors, walls, basins, and so on, need to be regulated with time as they would face wear and tear with time; it is an obvious thing.
