Page 7: How to find housing in Beijing

You have to keep in mind that Beijing is not cheap as it used to be a few years ago. So you have to be willing to shell out a good amount of money if you want a

decent house to stay in. You can find cheap flats, but they might be in such a bad state that you just cannot stay in them for a long period. You might have to deal with agents to find a suitable apartment as per your

requirements.

The agents will obviously charge additional money which will further increase your cost. However, you

just have to pay the agents one time. Sometimes the agents charge commission from the flat owner instead

of the tenant. In such a case you do not have to pay anything to the agent. While talking to the agent, you

should clarify whether you have to pay him any money or he will take it from the flat owner.

Some people are not comfortable dealing with real estate agencies as there have been many incidents of people being cheated by unscrupulous and dishonest agents. One way to avoid being cheated is to deal only

with reputed agencies. Or you can browse the local newspapers to find apartments by yourself,

eliminating the middleman. But this can be very time-consuming, and you might not be able to find what

you are looking for.

Another option is to check out popular websites like ‘City Weekend,’ ‘The Beijinger’ and ‘eChinacities.’

These websites have lots of real estate listings, and you are likely to find something you might be

interested in. If you like the apartments, then you have to act fast because it might be gone the next day.

Remember that good apartments get rented soon. When you find a property that is in good condition, and the rent fits your pocket, grab the opportunity

before it is gone.
