Viewing a New Home: A Feng Shui Checklist

Use this checklist when you view a new home before you buy. It covers the entrance, the layout and the surroundings, and the questions to ask the developer or agent in writing.

Before the viewing

  • The floor plan, the unit number and the direction of the unit.
  • The block's position and the road in front of it.
  • Any notice from the developer or HDB about the unit, in writing.

At the entrance

  • What faces the main door when it opens.
  • The lift lobby or corridor in front of the door, and whether it lines up with the door.
  • The light at the entrance and the clearance around the door.

Inside the unit

  • The bedroom doors and the bed position, and whether the bed lines up with the door.
  • The kitchen and stove, and their position relative to the main door.
  • The toilet doors and whether they can be seen from the living area.
  • The balcony and the windows, and how much light they bring in.

Questions for the developer or agent

  • The completion date, in writing.
  • The layout and the direction of the unit you are viewing.
  • Planned works or construction near the block.
