How do I find a place to live in Viti Levu?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Viti Levu, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a beachfront villa to a modest apartment in the city. Next, you should research the different areas of Viti Levu to find a location that suits your lifestyle and needs. For instance, if you want a bustling city life, you might consider Suva, the capital. If you prefer a more relaxed, beach lifestyle, the Coral Coast or Nadi might be more suitable. Once you've identified your preferred location, you can start searching for properties. There are several online real estate platforms that list properties for rent or sale in Fiji, such as Housing Paradise, Property.com.fj, and Bayleys Real Estate Fiji. These websites allow you to filter your search based on location, property type, price range, and other criteria. In addition to online searches, you might also want to engage a local real estate agent. They can provide valuable insights into the local market, help you negotiate prices, and guide you through the legal process of renting or buying property in Fiji. Before finalizing any agreement, make sure to visit the property in person. This will give you a chance to inspect the property's condition, assess the neighborhood, and ensure that it matches the description provided in the listing. Finally, once you've found a property you like, you'll need to negotiate the terms of the lease or purchase agreement. This will typically involve a deposit and signing a contract. If you're not familiar with Fijian property laws, it's advisable to seek legal advice to ensure your rights are protected. Remember, moving to a new country can be a complex process, so it's important to do thorough research and seek professional advice where necessary," said one person in Viti Levu.
