Choose an area around your routine
Shortlist neighbourhoods using commute time, school or childcare needs, transport and essential services. A weekend visit can feel very different from the weekday journey you will actually make.
Build a realistic housing budget
Ask what is included in the rent, what deposits and service activation costs apply, and how payments are structured. Review tenancy documentation and building rules before committing.
Sequence your move
Confirm the applicable residency route with the competent authority. Coordinate housing, banking documentation and utilities around that route. Property ownership or a company licence alone should not be treated as proof that every residency or banking requirement has been met.
General orientation, not a personalised legal, tax or investment recommendation. Confirm requirements with the relevant authority.
