Property Agents

 

Most people wanting to rent an apartment in Shenzhen will do so through a property agent. Property agents can be found on almost every street in the city. The fees charged may vary but typically they charge a one off fee equal to half the amount of one month’s rent. This is open to negotiation.

 

As there are so many property agents in Shenzhen and the best one to use depends on the area you want to live in, it is impossible to list them in this section. The best approach is to find an area you like and go to a few agencies and ask them to show you apartments in that area. Before handing over money, ensure that all appliances are in order.

 

For apartments in the Luohu area, Chuanghua Estate Agents are helpful, honest and service-minded. They can be found by Tongle Footbridge on Dongmen Middle Road and reached at (0755) 82233568. Unfortunately, they don’t speak English so if you are not a Chinese-speaker you will have to bring a local friend with you.
