HOME SEARCH: BE PREPARED !

Define as much as you can your criteria of search
It is sometimes difficult to know what ones want without knowing what it is possible to get.
You will need a tour of the different possible properties. 
However most of the best options are gone quickly (about 2 weeks after having been on the market)
In order to avoid useless disappointment, we recommend you to prepare a minimum your search.
Knowing that you are prepared, your agent will take the necessary time to provide you with choice and make you feel comfortable.

How?

1- Ask your family. Take into account your place of work, the school of your kids...

2- By looking at our online properties

3- By specifying your date of move: check with your employer and you current contract in case you need to give an early notice.

4- Your budget should be flexible between:
- An ideal budget: That's the amount you think is reasonable compared to your income or the budget fixed by your company.
- A maximum budget: That's the price you are ready to pay if you find "The" opportunity. 20% over your ideal budget is reasonable. This way you will avoid to get stuck in a situation you can't close the deal when come the time for negotiation.

5- By preparing the following documentation 
• Photocopied passport and visa
• One month rental for the goodfaith deposit (booking deposit):
• Looking for properties takes time. When you see the property that suits you, we strongly advise you to pay this deposit to secure the deal. Usually the amount is one month rental. After that the landlord has signed the memorandum and accepted this deposit, he cannot rent the property to Someone else. This deposit will become part of the security deposit or advance rental after the Tenancy Agreement is signed.
• If your company pays the rental for you, you will probably require a tax invoice.  In this case a photocopy of the business license will be needed.

Your agent will then prepare the necessary documents for you such as the Memorandum and Tenancy Agreement.
