Make sure that the new location is connected to other parts of the city and your business, find out how public transport works in this area, also is this location has everything you need for a living in here or near the site.

3. Inquire before you book the tour 

Before you book the tour for the real estate you have chosen, inquire about apartment itself, best from the agency that advertises the apartment - whether or not it is furnished, on how much long it is possible to lease the property, what are the monthly utilities (heating, electricity, Infostan etc. ) or whether it is necessary to invest further in the property. If you have hired our agent, it will be our pleasure to deliver the best deals for you, with the assurance that all the necessary measures and actions have been taken in order to make the rental prices as efficient and affordable as possible.

4. Learn about the property owner

Once you have selected the property that suits you, book the tour. First contact and first impression are very important! This way, you can check whether working with the landlord is right for you in the future. It is your right to ask anything that interests you in order to get as much information as possible. The agent protects you here also - in addition of booking, a professional agent will give you an opinion on the amount of rent and information about the property you are interested in. This way you will not waste unnecessary time looking at offers of apartments that do not suit you.

5. Look carefully 

You have selected the apartment that suits you. Go through with an agent and note down any defects, repairs needed, missing appliances, furniture, carpentry or anything else that can be an extra expense in your budget. The agent, if you hire him, will deliver the apartment handover record to both the tenant (you) and the lessor. This document will constitute proof of the condition of the property at the time of the takeover.
