Our search for a long-term rental apartment in Sydney has only just begun and already we have noticed so many differences from flat hunting in London, and Amsterdam.
* Costs are listed by week
* Notice period is only 2 weeks, therefore most apartments are only listed 2 weeks before they become available
* Unfurnished properties don't include a washing machine or fridge/freezer (unless built in)
* Most are viewed on an 'open house' basis and you only get a 15-20 minute window to turn up
* Search http://www.domain.com.au/ and http://www.realestate.com.au/
* You need to be ready with all your information to submit an application if you find one you like before anyone else does
* Quality of description and pictures vary from agent to agent
* There are a lot of 'open houses' on Saturday so many agents have Friday as their day off
Our currently dilemma - Do you risk losing the best one so far by waiting to see if a better one comes up?
