Moving to a new city sounds like an exciting journey! One of the first things you should learn to do when preparing for your new chapter abroad is how to choose an apartment.
If you are looking for an apartment in Valencia or any other city in Spain but are unfamiliar with the process and do not know where to start, we can help. It is not easy for newcomers to this nation to get an apartment if they are unfamiliar with Valencia or any other city in Spain. The pricing of the room rental market, public transportation, and numerous other factors are crucial to consider.
Once you choose Spain as your new place to make memories, finding a long-term rental cannot be easy. Prepare yourself as the city grows in popularity and the housing market moves quickly. Especially if you are a foreigner relocating to Valencia for the first time, you may experience worry. We are here to assist you in your search for the greatest apartment in Spain!
▶️ We have made some tips on the following points that will need to look out for to help you find a good apartment in Spain:
00:00 Intro
01:01 Location - Familiarize yourself with the different areas of the city
02:59 Street Noise - The closer you are to the main roads, commercial areas, and bars, the higher the chance of noise pollution
05:26 Interior vs Exterior - There's a big difference between apartments that are interior and exterior
06:31 Floors & Levels - The floor level of the apartment is very important
07:58 Elevator - This one was a nonnegotiable for us
09:24 Floor Numbers - Floor numbering in Spain is executed differently
10:21 Size of The Apartment - The measurement system in Spain is in square meters
11:35 To Furnish or Not To Furnish - It is possible to find both furnished and unfurnished homes
12:23 Insulation Nation - Most homes in Spain built around 1995-2009 are not very well built and lack insulation from heat and from noise.
15:30 Window Screens - We noticed that the windows did not have built-in screens
16:59 Heating & Cooling - Not all apartments had heating or cooling
17:48 Kitchen Appliances - Sometimes, apartments don't provide appliances (electrodomesticos)
19:05 Layout - Some layouts of the rooms are odd
20:06 Balcony - Balcony was a non-negotiable for us
21:28 Bedroom Location - The placement of the bedroom is important
22:19 Door Knobs - Most of the apartments don't have door knobs
23:42 Parking - Parking is difficult in the city
So, watch the video till the end and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Here's what I'd add: - there are "washer-dryer" appliances, but they have verrrrry long cycle times, and they leave your clothes damp. You still need to have space for a clothes drying rack. - To us, the most important thing is to locate near a supermarket, which you may be visiting daily. - To get a reasonably good estimate of square footage, just multiply the square meters by 10.

Noise is a big problem in Valencia if you are not used to the intense spanish lifestyle,its indeed a luxury to have a flat where you can just read in quiet or just be still without no noise polution from the neighbors shouting at theyr kids or screaming at eachother when comunicating ,same goes from the bars downastairs , it can become a real struggle so people should really be aware of all of this before buying a house in a beautiful looking Valencian neighbourhood !

Omg lots of lessons were learned when we rushed into our temporary rental in Palma de Mallorca! Biggest thing for us was NOISE. There was a restaurant below us that would throw late night 5AM after parties and the bar was right underneath our bedroom. And a underground night club across the street with bars everywhere. Every night I could feel our bed vibrating. I just about LOST my mind 😅 We got a noise machine which helped until we moved out after two months (broke our lease) And also -we rented furnished and it’s SO important to check the age and quality of the furniture! Our dog got a dust mite infection and lost a bunch of fur. 😢 the carpet was so gross looking and that’s where her bed was. Big mistake!

I stayed at a condo in Madrid that had a Bosch washer dryer combo. The dryer lint trap had never been cleaned and was packed with almost 2 inches of Lint. Also, instead of using magnets to secure the window screen, you could use velcro. If the adhesive for the velcro is too weak, you could use a silicon adhesive like E6000 to apply them. You may need to check with your landlord first. I've used 2 inch velcro for every foot of screen.

Thanks for the tip, we used velcro as well, and even added double sides tape. It just wouldn’t hold up and was such an eyesore after a few weeks. Will have to do more research if there are alternatives.

btw top floor doesn't guarantee peace, the noise travels in all directions. I had a top floor apartment, and the sounds from the apartment below sounded like someone was above me. I went to the roof a couple of times thinking someone was there ,stomping , just to realize it was coming from somewhere else in the building. And when it rained , the ceiling was leaking. building was only 15 years old.

There’s a lot of them who can do it here. Prices average from €6 to €18. If he doesn’t speak Spanish, like me, my advise would be to take a photo of his head in different angles right after getting a cut so that he can just use that photo do describe what he wants 😁

With all due respect I found that many of your comments in this video are applicable to city living Anywhere, not just in Valencia attractive though it may be.. After 12 years in West London, I can attest to that. As far as "Location, Location" is concerned, I think one has to have priorities, for me an apartment has to b "liveable" ie: somewhere I feel comfortable in and am pleased to return to, with enough space to move about freely, but close to amenities and above all affordable. We have all heard stories of a bed/sit in a converted "broom closet", in a former "office block", in a prime location opposite "Harrod's" in London, with a purchase price well in excess of £100,000...!! Not for me even if I had had the money..!!

My two cents… PLEASE STOP PAYING THE OUTRAGEOUS RENTAL FEES, and stop being ok with 2,000 and up rent. You’re driving up costs for locals. We went to rent a condo and the renter there said her unit was 700.00 euros and they are asking 1500 now because they know foreigners will pay. Landlords see money signs with foreigners. Not all, but most for sure. Locals really suffer when we come here and drive up costs like this. Don’t pay the crazy rents. PLEASE DONT! Also, put your foot down, there’s no need to pay a years rent up front. We paid one month down, one month to the realestate company, one months rent, on a brand new house. Yes, new house in the city (rare find), but we put our foot down and didn’t pay that year they asked for initially. Be careful with realtors and looking online. You can add a smart lock on your door. They sell them on Amazon. Great video!

Fantastic tips! It’s sad that landlords are doing this 😞 It’s so hard to find realtors you can trust. Thanks for the smart lock too! Such great tips 🙏🏼

EES Method, it's not that we want to drive up the rental cost but unfortunately we have to pay what they're asking for otherwise you don't get it, other person will get it. Finding apartments in Valencia right now it's very difficult specially if you are not working here so guess what...only option is to pay a year's rent at once.

@@EverythingIsBoffo Question for renting an apartment. Is it normal for real estate agents to ask for cash ? My friend just moved to Valencia and is having a hard time to find an apartment. Her real estate agent asks for cash. It doesn't make any sense to me. What is legal procedure there to lease an apartment as US citizen ?

@JamesBond-pm2lo Your friend should double-check if that's legit there. Better safe than sorry, especially since she's from the US and might not be familiar with all the local rules. Also, she could ask for a signed invoice each month to prove payment. One person I know refused and preferred sending rent through Wise, which the landlord agreed to. If she’s open to it, using Wise could be a smart move - it’s what some folks opt for to keep things hassle-free and secure. Here’s our referral link: wise.com/invite/ihpc/pauls5040

@@JamesBond-pm2lo no that’s not normal. Cash never came up in any convo with the agents, and we talked to 15 of them. I wouldn’t pay an agent cash, unless they can provide me a receipt.

It’s actually very first world, public transportation is amazing, the city offers plenty to do, cost of living is low, universal healthcare so people never have to worry when they are sick. It’s a very good way to live. But as it’s an old city (and country), there’s apartments that are not as modern or have not been renovated yet. You can choose to rent in a newer build, there’s plenty being built right now.
