Moving to Chelsea from a provincial town or from a rural village, coming here on a temporary work assignment or moving here full time? Regardless of where you are moving from or the given reasons, Chelsea is a big place and there are many considerations to be taken into account when searching for an apartment or flat to rent, and not just the price although that should be a major starting point, not least because the last thing you need is an apartment which is a millstone round your neck, after all you’re only renting, not buying.
Location is one of the primary considerations, and where an apartment or flat is located can dictate how it will affect your work and/or social life.
If your new job entails working night time hours the last thing you need is a busy traffic junction or intersection close to where you live, yet neither do you want it located in an area which is hideously quiet during the day but comes alive about the same time you’re on the way to bed, ready for an early start; night clubs and music venues spring to mind here, although there are other categories.
Once you have decided on location, it is wise to consider the size and whether it will accommodate all your furniture if it is unfurnished; indeed if it is furnished, is the furnishing suitable and sufficient, do you intend to entertain a lot and if so is it adequately large enough for entertaining.
How many bedrooms the flat or apartment has may not seem important at first but planning for the future if you’re taking on a long term let, especially if you may want family or friends staying over is as important as knowing if the dining room (if it has one) is big enough for planned dinner parties.
Knowing if there is adequate and safe, vehicle parking if you have a car or other vehicle is essential; likewise where you store your bicycle if you have one and bring it with you.
