Pointers for those relocating

A good way to avoid pesky brokers is to join groups and pages on Facebook where individuals post their requirements for flats or roommates. Since they sell themselves you get to talk to them freely and can also ask for suggestions in case you are not clear about the geography of the city. The first thing you need to figure out while house hunting is the closest landmark to your workplace so that you can look for places within a certain radius.

There are multiple websites online which advertise for places but none of them should be made a locked deal without you personally checking out the place. No matter the pretty picture of the kitchen top posted on the website, you should always consider the locality when deciding on a place.

There is a relative relationship between how much you want to spend and how long you want to commute. Depending on your payment you should ideally not be spending more than 30% of your pay. This ensures you have a balance between rent, expenditure, and savings.

If you are relocating to a different apartment in the same city, then there is also a lifestyle up-scaling that you need to consider before jumping for that great apartment close to work.
