The sit-back-and-relax option (Innova Housing & Property Group)
If you want to take the weight off your shoulders, Innova specializes in helping new arrivals (and old hands) find the perfect accommodation. The company’s staff are fluent in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, and promise to get you housed in the shortest possible time—sometimes the same or next day. They will also meet with you and your new landlord to carefully go through your contract, help with utilities, phones and internet, and any other accommodation-related problems you may have. Their website (www.innovate.es), includes search facilities. The cost is very reasonable—somewhere between two and four weeks’ rent. Plus, of course, you’ll want to buy them a beer when the job’s done. Phone +34 670 681 435 or email: marketing@innovate.es
