Prepare for your Housing Search in Perú

Notwithstanding all the rental properties available, finding a place to stay in Lima can be long process. Before you start your search there are several points you should consider:

• Do you want to rent or buy?
• Can you make an advance trip to Perú for house hunting or initially move into short-term rental and take your time finding a permanent place?
• Do you want to live in the suburbs despite higher prices or would a place in the city centre be more suitable? See that private neighbourhoods, which are usually provided with 24h security and extra services, such as swimming pool, tennis courts or individual parking lots, they are usually more expensive than flat buildings located at the city center.
• What is your ideal size for the accommodation in terms of rooms and square meters?
• If buying, do you prefer a newly renovated place or are you ready to buy cheaper and renovate it yourself?

The house or flat rental in Perú is usually payable monthly. Most of the time, modern conveniences like internet are available, but charges are not included in the price. You should add electricity, gas and TV license, etc. to the rental fee.
