Housing abroad — Germany
Targeted search based on your budget and neighbourhood, listing and landlord checks, introductions, lease review and a move-in checklist. You land with a booked home, not a list of links.
Housing abroad — country specifics — Germany
The German rental market is the hardest in Western Europe on arrival: 50-applicant group viewings, Schufa required, Kaltmiete + Nebenkosten + sometimes a kitchen buyout (Ablöse). We prepare a full German-style file (Mieterselbstauskunft, payslips, employer letter) and first target a Zwischenmiete to file the Anmeldung.

Frequently asked questions
Verified review
« Munich is brutal. We first secured a Zwischenmiete to file the Anmeldung, then the real flat a month later. The German-style file they prepared clearly set me apart from the other applicants at group viewings. »
