Looking for an apartment to rent ASAP, please?

ttocS001

Hello all and a very good day.


I'm moving from Joburg to Harare with my girlfriend. She's Zimbabwean and I'm from the UK. I'd greatly appreciate any advice on solid estate agents that have a good reputation. Also anything at all you may think help us transition smoothly would be awesome.


Thank you very kindly in advance and have a wonderful day.


In case you're an agent or in contact with one, I have added a cover letter I've already sent to:

Kennan Properties

Heaven & Earth,

Access Homes

Fine and Country


"Hi there, hope youre well!


My names Michael Scott Mckinley. Im currently working offshore in the UK oil and gas industry, doing 12-hour shifts at sea for 21 days straight, so my time is pretty limited while Im out here.


Im looking for a 1 or 2-bedroom fully furnished apartment in Harare, for myself and my girlfriend Tariro Elsie Kurima, who is Zimbabwean. We need something in a really nice area, like Mount Pleasant, Borrowdale, Avondale, Belgravia or Alexandra Parksomewhere safe, secure and modern.


There are a few things that are non-negotiable for us:


Air-conditioning is a must


It needs to be fully furnished


Safe parking and good security are essential


If theres solar power or a generator and borehole water, thats a bonus but not a dealbreaker if the place is perfect otherwise


Because of my job, I need to do this mostly over WhatsApp. Im looking for an agent who can do the legwork for me and send me as many real options as possible, with clear pictures, videos, full details and rental costs upfront.


I want to make sure everything you send me is 100% accurate because Im going to fly my girlfriend from Johannesburg to Harare just to do the viewing. Well only view one property before signing, so I really need to be sure its exactly whats describedno surprises when we turn up please!


Im happy to jump on a call if needed between 14:00 and 18:00 UK time, but mostly I just need the agent to send me options so I can choose one that fits exactly what were after. Once I do, well get things moving straight away.


Looking forward to seeing what you have! Really appreciate your help


Thanks,

Scott"

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply Bhavna.


I have registered with only these four, Kennan Properties, Heaven & Earth, Access Homes & Fine and Country. I gathered these from chat GPT. Not getting much feedback from these to be honest yet after a day.


This is why I posted on here in hope of finding some solid and reliable recommendations. There's two in the link you provided, thank you. I'm skeptical of using Google search as I know the reviews can be very easily manipulated so I was hoping to go from word of mouth from people with good experiences.


Thanks again for the links, really appreciate it and I'll also post in "Housing".


Warm regards


Scott
