Some Considerations To Make Before Choosing Your Share Accommodation In Canberra
By Vic Hurlstorm | August 2, 2010
The Internet can really help you if you are searching share accommodation Canberra. There are enough ads here to give you a lot of options. Living in Canberra is high and there are a lot of people who are looking at saving on living costs by sharing their accommodation with someone. So, it is a good idea, but you have to ensure that you don’t have to put up with something you detest.
Here is a checklist of some of the factors that you have to consider when you are scanning for share accommodation in Canberra.
One of the primary things you have to consider is the location of the place. There are options for share accommodation in Canberra in all of the major places–you will find a lot of options in Watson, Turner, Reid, Narrabundah, Lyneham or Campbell–but you should make your choice depending on where your place of work or study is situated.
The second thing to look at is the size. Naturally, the bigger the accommodation, the better it is. But that would also add to the cost of the place.
The price is an important factor. Most of the good share accommodations in Canberra could be got within the range of $700 and $1,200 per month. Decide on your budget beforehand because once you make a commitment, there is no turning back.
What kinds of facilities does the place have? Is there a bed for you? Some places have double beds which you will be asked to share with the other person. You have to decide if you want to do that. Is there a common wardrobe? Can you have your own computer desk? These are the kinds of things you have to make sure of.
See what costs you will be sharing. Typically in Canberra, when you are looking for shared accommodation Canberra, you will have to share the rent, the utility bills and the food expenses. You will have to pay for anything that you use and if you use something exclusively, your accommodation partner won’t be sharing those costs with you.
A very important thing that people forget to check on at the start is whether the person they will be living with smokes or not. This could put a whole bad taste on your shared accommodation experience if you don’t make sure of this earlier.
