8 questions you should ask before moving into a new apartment

Before moving into a new apartment, you need to know all the information to decide if it’s the right choice for you. Here we’ve gathered all the most important questions you should ask before moving in.

1. How much does it cost?

This is one of the most important questions you should ask. It may seem obvious, but it’s a good idea to confirm the price with the person or company helping you with the process, so you won’t have any surprises.

Keep in mind that there is a wide range of prices on the market for short and long stays, and the goal is to find the best value-for-money option for you.

At Be Casa we have different prices depending on the apartment type and the length of your stay.

2. How much is the deposit/advance payment?

Apart from the monthly cost of the apartment, the deposit/advance payment is another expense you need to keep in mind when moving in.

Usually the deposit ranges from one to three months’ rent.

At Be Casa Rivas we ask for an advance payment, which will be refunded at the end of your contract as long as you leave the apartment in good condition.

3. Which utilities are included in the price?

It’s essential to ask the manager which services are included and which ones you’ll be personally responsible for.

Usually you’ll have to take care of utilities like water, electricity and gas. In other words, you’ll be in charge of setting up these utilities and paying every month based on your consumption.

At Be Casa Rivas you don’t need to worry about this, because all utilities are included in the price. You even get high-speed wifi, regular cleaning and linen change, and parking (for stays longer than two months).

4. Is the apartment furnished?

It’s important to know whether the apartment is furnished. That way you’ll have time to organise yourself to buy everything you need to furnish your new place, or to hire a moving company to help you transport all your furniture.

At Be Casa all apartments are fully furnished with everything you need, from the kitchen to the bedrooms.

5. Does it have common areas?

A big advantage is having access to spaces like a pool or gym.

Nowadays, many apartment buildings include common areas you can enjoy alone or with company. In our buildings you have plenty of spaces to enjoy, relax and share, such as a pool, indoor and outdoor gym, coworking room, café, social club, terraces and much more.

6. Are pets allowed?

You may not want to move in alone, and that company might be your pet. If that’s your case, don’t forget to ask whether the apartment is Pet Friendly.

At Be Casa we are Pet Friendly, we even have a Pet Spa! If you’d like to know about our conditions, feel free to contact us.

7. Is parking included?

If you have a car, you’ll probably want a parking space. It may or may not be included in the cost of your apartment.

Make sure what type of parking is available (covered, monitored, private spot, etc.), so you know in advance what you can count on.

At Be Casa, for stays longer than two months, a parking space is included in the price. And if you’d like, you can rent extra parking spaces.

8. What is the booking process like?

One of the important questions is knowing how to request or book the apartment. Remember that the apartment you like may not be available the next day, so you’ll have to act fast.

At Be Casa the process is very simple: just choose among the different apartment types, enter the dates of your stay, and you’ll instantly see the options available to you, along with the cost of your apartment. You can book from our website, 100% online.

Likewise, if you have any questions, our team of advisors will be available to answer them.

Finally, asking all these questions will help you have everything clear when moving into your new apartment. Remember that the most important thing is that you find the perfect option for you, where you have everything you’re looking for.
