For expats renting in Singapore
Find the right Singapore home for your move.
Submit your housing brief — move date, commute, school routes, budget and lease needs — and we organise it before routing to suitable local property support. This service is for expats looking for a home to rent, not for landlords or agents listing properties.
What to include in your request
- Move-in timing and preferred lease length
- Work, school and clinic locations
- Budget, furnishing preference and family size
- Pets, parking or helper-room requirements
What happens after you submit
Your request is reviewed by a human, checked for fit, and routed only to suitable local property professionals — no cold calls, no obligation. If no suitable match exists, we say so.
Not for landlords or agents. If you want to list a property, this is not the right service.
Common questions
Is this service for expats looking to rent, or for landlords?
This is strictly for expats looking for a home to rent in Singapore. If you are a landlord, property agent, or want to list a room or property, this is not the right platform.
How does the matching process work?
You submit a brief covering your move-in timing, commute needs, budget and preferences. SG Expat Desk reviews it for completeness and fit, then routes it to suitable local property professionals — no cold calls, no obligation. You are not added to any general marketing list.
What areas of Singapore do you cover?
All areas, including popular expat neighbourhoods such as Holland Village, Buona Vista, Novena, Tanjong Pagar, Bishan and the East Coast. Include your work location and school zones in your request so the shortlist reflects your real commute.
How much does it cost to submit a request?
Submitting a request is free. SG Expat Desk is a referral and introduction service; any fees involved in the actual property transaction are between you and the professional you are introduced to.
How long does a response take?
Most requests receive an initial response within 1–2 business days. More complex or urgent timelines should be noted clearly in your request.
Can I include school-zone or commute requirements?
Yes — these are some of the most useful details to include. Provide the school name or district, your employer's office location, and any flexibility you have on commute time. This significantly improves how well your request can be matched.
