Property prices in Colombo

Hello everyone,

Finding affordable housing in Colombo is number one priority for newcomers. Tell us more about the estate market in your district/city/region.

What are the most desired places to live? What are the most affordable ones? What is the average cost of a rented flat? And what is the average sale price for an appartment or a house? Could you tell us more about local real estate policies/procedures? What about property tax or residency tax in Colombo?

What about you? Where do you live now? Is it a place you would recommend?

Thank you in advance for your clarifications.
