How do I find a place to live in Biarritz?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Biarritz, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a small apartment to a large house, depending on your needs and financial situation. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Biarritz to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some areas might be closer to the beach, while others are closer to the city center or have better access to public transportation. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms that list properties for rent or sale in Biarritz, such as Seloger, Bien’ici, and Leboncoin. These websites allow you to filter your search based on various criteria, such as price, size, location, and number of rooms. In addition to online searches, you might also want to consider hiring a real estate agent. They can provide valuable local knowledge, help you navigate the French property market, and assist with the negotiation and purchase process. When you find a property you're interested in, arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property, ask questions, and get a feel for the neighborhood. If you decide to proceed with a property, you'll need to negotiate the terms of the lease or purchase agreement. This will include things like the price, move-in date, and any conditions or repairs that need to be made. Finally, once the agreement is signed, you'll need to arrange for utilities and services such as electricity, water, and internet to be set up in your new home. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so it's important to be patient and not rush the process," said one person in Biarritz.
