How do I find a place to live in Waterford?

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

"Finding a place to live in Waterford, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a single room in a shared house to a full apartment or house. Next, you should start your search online. Websites like Daft.ie, Rent.ie, and MyHome.ie are popular platforms for finding rental properties in Ireland. These sites allow you to filter your search based on location, price range, property type, and number of bedrooms. You can also use social media groups on platforms like Facebook. There are several groups dedicated to housing and rentals in Waterford where landlords and tenants often post listings. Another option is to engage the services of a real estate agent. They can help you find properties within your budget and preferences, and they can also guide you through the process of securing a lease. Once you've found a potential place, arrange a viewing with the landlord or real estate agent. This will give you a chance to inspect the property and ask any questions. If you're satisfied with the property, you'll need to provide references and possibly a deposit to secure the lease. Make sure to read the lease agreement carefully before signing. Finally, once you've signed the lease, you can arrange for the move. Remember to set up utilities like electricity, gas, and internet, and to update your address with any relevant institutions. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so it's best to start your search well in advance of when you plan to move," said one person in Waterford.
