In this week's episode, we tour a bachelor's three-room HDB flat in Ang Mo Kio, spanning 807 sqft in size.

The home has undergone a $78,000 renovation, meticulously designed in an industrial style with raw finishes throughout.

Starting at the main entrance, you'll notice the clever use of glass-fluted doors to invite more natural light into this corridor unit.

Homes like this are as much about the property underneath as the design on top. The right layout, block and tenure make renovations like these possible, or much harder to achieve later.

That's often where we help readers: evaluating the property first, before committing to a big purchase.

Over time, that's also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.

Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.
