House hunters

Hi all,

Could anyone recommend an agency which can help to rent an apartment?

maybe not until the apartment is found

which will be quite a challenge in Lausanne. Maybe a new thread title "Help finding a place in or near Lausanne" might be good.....as well as searching for "lausanne" in the housing section?

Just a thought....I'm still quite a newbie but that's what I'd do

I do not think so. there are dozens of people looking for an apartment near (in) Lausanne. I'm asking for an hunting agency here. Not for a flat.

you're looking for a miracle worker. Whether it's you or an agency, it's hard work.

check out the boards in the supermarkets and local papers too.

It's just a market: I pay - they search. Doesn't look like a miracle to me

Re: House hunters

Hi

My husband has just recommended a company called Office Pool - Website officepool.ch. Although we are looking for property around Zurich I think they help all over Switzerland. Hope that helps.

Alonzo, we were in Lausanne looking for a place last week. We had an agent from a company called Swiss Access to assist us. We managed to find a suitable place
