Moving to a country you don't know can be scary, and that's understandable. And in particular, finding accommodation when you are in another country, sometimes thousands of kilometres away, seems at first sight rather complicated.

But it is possible! We will guide you in your search and give you some useful tips.

The online search

The first thing you need to do, before you actually start looking for a rental, is to find out about the town or area.

Are there any schools or crèches? What are the transport options? Will you be able to find shops, restaurants, etc. nearby?
It is worth digging into your questions to make sure you don't get into the wrong sector.

Not easy when you don't know the country...No stress! You can find a lot of information on the Internet. Visit our blog, you will find valuable information on the different cities of the Grand Duchy. Practical information, but also the prices of rentals to live in Luxembourg.

Then take the next step, by browsing the online real estate ads on atHome.lu to find flats you like.

The housing visit

If you are not there, the best thing to do is to ask a friend to visit the flats for you.

Brief them before you send them out into the field: tell them what is important to you, such as your preferences and tastes.
Better yet, ask your friend to call you during the visit. With his smartphone, he will be able to show you the interior of the flat from a distance thanks to the video.

If you don't know anyone in Luxembourg yet, the best thing to do is to take one or two days to get there, and plan several visits during your stay.

Ask an agency

If you still feel lost, call a real estate professional!

As an expert in this field, he will of course find you your future home, but he will also be able to give you a lot of information about the city. This advice will be of great help and will facilitate your move to Luxembourg.
