Accomodation

Finding housing for expats in Mozambique is notoriously difficult. 

Upon relocating to Mozambique, an expat will need (furnished) housing.
Securing decent and safe accommodation can be quite challenging.

Serviços Moçambique collaborators are experts in renting and letting unfurnished and fully furnished properties for private individuals or investors in the Maputo area, as well as in the rest of Mozambique.
Maputo and the surrounding area are home to a large number of international companies and multinationals’ offices. Staff on temporary postings from all over the world make a significant contribution to these organizations and to the Mozambican economy.

To get an idea of which neighbourhood you would like to live in, we recommend that you think about what is important to you. Do you want to be based close to the office? Would you prefer rather near to the schools and sea views instead? What sort of accommodation would you like — an apartment or a house?

Serviços Moçambique provides a full relocation service that covers all these questions and will guide you throughout the process.

Renting for your staff

If you are looking for accommodation for your staff, Serviços Moçambique is what you need. We understand the pressures of relocating staff with differing requirements, often at short notice. Our experience shows that this service works well and there is no unnecessary loss of work time. Serviços Moçambique agents and property consultants work in partnership with clients to deliver their goals.

The supply of partly or fully furnished houses and apartments available to expats has increased, partly due to the credit crisis. As a result, your staff have to spend a lot of work time searching for the right accommodation that meets their specific requirements and wishes.

We help them by making an inventory of their requirements based on their wishes, showing them around, visiting the apartments/houses with them and making a pre-selection together. This makes the process of finding rented accommodation as efficient as possible, enabling your employee to become quickly assimilated so that they can focus their attention on their work and settling in. Serviços Moçambique has extensive knowledge and experience, especially with expats. We are involved not only in letting properties, but also in renting, and we can make use of the practical knowledge and experience of our property management department. 

Procedure and Process

If an employee is relocating to Mozambique from abroad to work for your company and you want to find temporary housing for them, with or without their family, then we can find them a suitable partly or fully furnished home in the private sector.

• Introduction and summary of their specific housing needs
• Make a selection of potentially suitable properties
• Route planning for house-hunting sessions/viewings and assessment of selected properties
• Evaluation of the properties and safety. 
• Plan second viewing of the selected property if needed
• Make a conditional offer
• Negotiation
• Review/check rental agreement
• Background check
• Providers
• Completion of the paperwork

In assessing whether a house/apartment is suitable for your employee, we pay attention to various issues such as a safe neighbourhood, entry, the property’s layout, maintenance aspects and the quality of the furnishings. We also check the owner of the property etc. Our services also include information about international schools and local shops.

Securing decent and safe accommodation can be quite challenging. Limited availability and high expectations will leave both yourself and your new employee exceedingly frustrated.

Do you wish to make sure both parties are off to a good start? Then opt for our housing packages, which includes all services needed to provide your employee with pleasant living quarters. Without putting a strain on your busy schedule.

We are permitted into houses more easily than individuals. That is because we are hired by companies – securing renting continuity.
