In major cities you will always see an identical trend which is happening everywhere. Thousands of people migrate from their hometown and land in to a city for better job prospects or better standard of living.
I too did the same and chose UK as the best place to settle down. Edinburgh was the city which fascinated me the most, but I was doubtful about accommodation.
I was literally duped by some estate agents, but that part of the story will be followed by me in some other blog. This time I will tell you about the things to look out for when you land in a new city, and what you need to keep in your mind.
Finding flats for to let in Edinburgh can be a time consuming process, but keep these things points in mind and it will be a smooth sailing process for you.
Decide on the essentials
To check out the available flats on rent can be the most time consuming process. When distance is big, the travel time increases automatically and more so during the peak hours. Keep that in mind and go ahead.
Size of the flat
Count the number of people you will be sharing the flat with, or whether you will be staying alone. Keep the number of rooms to a minimum, as that will decrease your rent.
Areas of the city
With the number of available flats for to let in Edinburgh, limit your search to a few areas in the city. When deciding on the location, you may have a soft corner for the place where your friends or relatives reside, so think about that.
When you like a particular place and the flat then start thinking about the prices for the flats. Be realistic and set your expectation to a practical level and then head forward.
