In Singapore, heritage apartments are mostly part of older developments, with many characteristics that differ from apartments built in recent times. For example, these older apartments tend to be much more spacious and are housed in charming heritage buildings.

Heritage apartments are the perfect rental option for singles, whilst Figment’s furnished apartments are large enough to accommodate couples and co-sharing friends.

Figment's heritage apartments do not come with condo facilities, although some may offer basic features such as a barbecue area and pool. We'd argue that most of the amenities that come with these apartments extend into the neighbourhood with walkable surrounds and great coffeeshops and bars a short distance away.

You can find heritage apartments within various conservation buildings around Singapore, including apartment blocks and shophouses. These buildings are located in prime neighbourhoods such as Joo Chiat and Tiong Bahru. These locations tend to be amenity rich and convenient to access via public transport.

According to the Council for Estate Agencies, to rent property in Singapore, you need to be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident. Non-citizens may rent if they hold an employment or work permit like an S-pass, a student pass, dependent pass or long term social visit pass. That said, even with foreigners holding legal residence, the problem is that most Singapore landlords may not be too pleased with a month-to-month lease agreement and would typically require at least a 1 or 2 year contract. Figment provides a much-needed. flexible alternative for heritage apartment rentals with flexible lease terms and a 1-month notice period.
