Hi everyone,
my boyfriend and I will move to Oslo in August and we're already looking for a flat from abroad. We saw some nice ones but don't know the chances we have to get one when not being on the spot. Also we don't really know the pitfalls to look after when seeing an ad.
So here a few questions, we have to those of you who are already established:
- Does it make a difference money wise to have a flat with electrical heating versus central heating?
- How is the renting market? Is it difficult to rent a flat, meaning is there a huge waiting line to
each flat visit?- What are the pitfalls to be aware of?
- our ideal flats is from 2 rooms and above with a budget between 7'000 and 10'000 NOK, is it realistic for a rented flat?
- what are the administrative papers that need to be given to rent a flat? Bank account description? A working contract?
Also do you know anyone moving soon? We're looking for a 2-rooms flat.
We look forward to reading your answers and thank you already for your support.
See you soon and best wishes,
Gaëlle
