Hi,
I noticed that Christine posted the following back in 2011 -
Finding a place to live is a priority when settling in Latvia. Your experience will be of a great help for the members who want to settle in Latvia.
Therefore, we have prepared some questions for you:
Which kinds of accommodation are available in Latvia?
Is it hard to find a flat or a house for rent in Latvia?
How to find a home in Latvia: classifieds, real estate portals, real estate agencies?
How much is the rental for a house, an apartment?
What are the formalities or the required documents for renting an accommodation?
Which advice would you give?
Thanks in advance for participating!
I have been advised to have a look at ss.lv to give me an idea of
the cost of accomodation in Riga. The trouble is even when I try translating it, it doesnt tell me everything required. I was wondering if anybody has any answers to Christine's post, and further to this if anybody knows of any easy to use accomodation websites written in English. I am wanting to get ideas of the cost for either a studio or 1 bedroom apartment, preferably furnished. I'm looking somehwere in the centre of Riga maybe not to far from old town. I guess everything depends on the cost. As im looking to relocate I would want a place on a minimum of a 1 year lease and also wondered if that is possible. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Scott
