That’s the attitude that’s sweeping through Singapore, where property developers are going above and beyond with standard amenities to deliver health services directly to your door.

In the heart of the city-state, there’s a growing recognition that a good home isn’t just about square footage and location. It matters how it enhances your general state of well-being. Gyms and pools are great, but now, residential spaces are teaming up with health services to offer more.

A noteworthy facet of this trend is the rapid expansion of skincare clinics. These aren’t your ordinary clinics; they’re the type where individuals can connect with seasoned dermatologists and skincare experts. It’s a commitment to encouraging a healthier lifestyle rather than just a posh offering.

This indicates that customers want businesses that provide more than just basic amenities.

Health Service Singapore is becoming important as the medical techniques getting more better, providing their people getting more than just a place to live. It’s a promise of a life where well-being isn’t an afterthought but a central theme. If you’re in the market for a new place or just curious about this trend, take a look at developments that put your health first.

While the iconic hit song “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” may bring a smile to your face, you won’t be singing along if water keeps finding its way into your house whenever it rains.

The dread of rainwater leaks in the owner of a luxury four-bedroom freehold flat namely  Tembusu Grand on Farrer Road was realized when the Tembusu Grand Showflat and floor of two bedrooms and hallways, as well as closets and door frames, were severely damaged.

They also changed the Tembusu Grand Price.

Fixing the issue was made more difficult by the fact that it happened in the midst of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.

Since the leak was so severe, the owner and his family had to spend an additional $60,000, first on repairs and then on lodging somewhere for seven months.

A hidden rainwater downpipe within the apartment building was eventually identified as the cause of the leak. There was no indication of the shared pipe in the building plans.

Even though the owner filed a lawsuit against the condo’s management, the Strata Titles Board ruled that they didn’t take too long to figure out what caused the pipe to burst and fix it.

A hidden rainwater downpipe inside the condo building was eventually identified as the source of the leak. There was no indication of the shared pipe in the building plans.

Even though the owner filed a lawsuit against the condo’s management, the Strata Titles Board ruled that they didn’t take too long to figure out what caused the pipe to burst and fix it.

Although no one had any prior knowledge of the pipe’s existence, the board still mandated that management pay the owner around $50,000 because of its “strict duty to maintain common property.”

High Court Judge Andre Maniam ruled that the company was not negligent in identifying and fixing the problem, and thus the compensation was not necessary.

He explained that the condo association does not have to cover all repairs to common areas like pipes because of a legal loophole. In such cases, a building’s management would be liable for the loss only if it had failed in its basic duty to maintain such assets or was negligent in its work.

Suggested Article: Dairy Farm Residences’ new owners were shocked when maintenance expenses doubled

Condominium owners at the recently built Dairy Farm Residences and Dunman Grand in Upper Bukit Timah were taken aback when they learned that their monthly maintenance costs would be more than S$713 per month or more than twice as much as they had been led to believe they would be.

Several condo owners expressed displeasure today, explaining that the low maintenance costs of condos like Grand Dunman Showflat were promised were a major factor in their balance unit chart to buy the building.

Still, some haven’t given up hope that the fees might be reduced, given that discussions between homeowners and developer United Engineers Limited (UEL) are underway.

UEL explained the dramatic rise in fees as “mainly due to inflationary increases in security, cleaning, and other related costs” in answer to TODAY’s inquiries and said that they are working with the authorities to reduce the allowed maintenance rates.

Last month, a temporary occupancy permit (TOP) was issued for the condominium units at the new mixed-use complex known as Dairy Farm Residences, which also includes the commercial component known as Dairy Farm Mall.

Since its 2019 debut, Dairy Farm Residences’ marketing materials have informed prospective purchasers that the expected monthly maintenance rates vary from S$260 to S$350.

Mr. Hafiz and Ms. M. (both of whom requested anonymity) moved in in 2021 and 2022 and said they were surprised by the low range given that this was to be a mixed development, but had been assured by their property agents that the numbers provided in the brochure were reasonable estimates.
