Three essential tips to ease your home search before your relocation.
When we are preparing a relocation from Hungary, one of the things that we cannot delay is to decide where we are going to live. This might not be easy considering all the things we have to organise, unfortunately, in a very limited period of time.
However, choosing the right home for you and your family is the first step for a successful relocation and settling in. If your time is limited and you don’t know from where to start, here three of the things which matter the most when choosing a new home.
1. Set up a budget
Your available income in the new country will depend on many factors. Taxes, cost of living… Considering all these before starting the home search will help you set a realistic budget for your future home.
2. Choose the best location
The location is of one of the main aspects to focus on when searching for a new home abroad. Some important questions to ask yourself are:
- Is it convenient for work?
- Can my children easily go to school and to other extra-curricular activities?
- Is there public transport nearby or a school bus route?
- Are there shops and other amenities within a reasonable distance?
- Is it a quiet and family friendly area?
3. Include your pets in the searching home process
If you have pets, include them in the “choosing home” process. If you are looking for an apartment, is it big enough? Is it well protected so there is no risk of escaping? Are there convenient green areas and parks nearby for the daily walks?
Some landlords might be reluctant to allow pets, therefore, it is important to always ask during the initial home visits if pets are allowed and if so, if there are any particular rules to consider.
