Organizing your property searches online during the period of social isolation (Part 2)

April 14, 2020

Defining your search area

Don’t you agree this is the most important point? For some people, the location of their future property is of fundamental importance, be it a matter of comfort or investment.

Would you like to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside, or do you prefer the frenzy of the city? Have you thought about how close the property would be to your work and your leisure activities? If you have children, you should think about their future school first and access to public transportation. Whether you are a person living near the border or a resident, commuting in Luxembourg has become a focus of attention and traffic may be difficult to put up with on a day-to-day basis.

Establishing a list of municipalities or geographic boundaries not to go beyond will make your investigations more effective. The Immotop.lu app (available for IOS and Android) has set up a feature to optimize your searches: you may draw your ideal area directly on the map, thereby limiting the results obtained with the listings located in this sector.

Property quickly slips away in Luxembourg, especially if you are looking for property in a very popular town in the Grand Duchy. Your research could then take the form of a “race against time”. Don’t worry, solutions exist: email alerts based on your own criteria allow you to receive real-time notifications as soon as a corresponding listing is posted.

Seeking the assistance of a professional

Buying, selling or moving house represent a crucial stage in one’s life but these actions equally require time, perseverance and certain knowledge. Many people prefer to do their initial research online before contacting a real estate agency. Some may quickly become discouraged given the plethora of offers available on the market. Immotop.lu will then allow you to have access to quality listings centralized on a single medium. Once you have selected your listing, your next step will be to get in touch with the relevant real estate agencies which will guide you and identify your needs, or even propose you new offers that have not yet been published on the Internet.

Take advantage of this period of social isolation and do your online property research: with a little patience, you will certainly find your dream property!
