Accommodation
Rent house or flat
In order to find a flat or a house you can prospect
different way:
- Through
real estate agents directly. In suburbs they
are situated near the train station and in big cities
they are everywhere. Just take a look at the area you
want to live in and go to the closer agency.
- Through
newspapers. Each town/city has it's own and advertises
on 1 or 2 specific days a week (Saturdays are popular).
- Word
of mouth and local bill-boards.
Most flats/houses are unfurnished. The
minimum lease for a flat is 6 months and for a house
it is 12 months.
my friend actually put me onto this site, they used it for a holiday rental up the coast but they also have some great short stay alternatives in the big cities so it can be a cheaper alternative when you first get here.
It is easy to use and gives you direct contact details and websites in most cases as well. I highly recommend it
http://aholidayhouse.comI found rentahome.com.au a great service when relocating to Sydney. They have an extensive choice and good service. Multiple prices on place form just a single request makes searching a lot easier than multiple searches.
Booking was straight forward and I would recommend them.
