moving to Gothenburg

Hello Morten Frank.

Welcome to Expat.com!

Maybe you can be more specific in your request.
What kind of accommodation are you looking for?

Thank you,
Aurélie

Hi Aurelie,

Thanks so much :-).
Preferably to lease a house, but I also recognize that cost for that is high. Alternatively an apartment, but we are 2 adults and 2 kids, so we need sufficient space. Min. 120 m2.
Are long term leasing costs in Gothenburg considered high?

All the best, Morten

Hello Morten.

I hope other members will be able to enlighten you.

For your accommodation search, you could consider posting an advert in the Housing in Gothenburg section.

Thank you,
Aurélie

Hej Morton

Accomodation in Göteborg is very scarce and strictly regulated by the government.  There are two types of rental contracts available i.e. first hand and second hand.  The first hand contracts have an extremely long waiting time, have a look at boplats.se for this type.  Second hand contracts is where the landlord is not able to live there themselves mainly due to work obligations in other cities or countries on a shorter term and then they let out the housing privately.  These are obviously a lot more expensive but there are more available, have a look at blocket.se.  We have been living in Göteborg for almost a year now and were fortunate to have a relocation company help us with this issue.  Please let me know if and how I can help further.  Good Luck!
