MY wife and I bought a service apartment years ago as we believed our children studying overseas might want to stay on their own. We also thought that our corner unit house will be too difficult for us to upkeep.

When we bought the service apartment 13 years ago, we did not realise that the unit will be considered as a business entity thus electricity and water supply were charged based on commercial rates.

The Star Christmas Special Promo: Save 35% OFF Yearly. T&C applies.
