      I agree. I relocated in February. Unless my company covers the costs, I sell everything and start again. I bought a few big boxes and used Pudo for things like blankets, pillows, speakers, kitchen stuff. The fridge is one of those things which is worth moving with. They’re so expensive and painful to sell.

      @AxDataG 10 месяцев назад +3

      Not particularly. Cape Town needs you to navigate things via alternatives, I.e. when looking for a place, don't go to property24. Rather, use sites where landlords (not agents) advertise. You'll pay less rent and less competition where there are 300 people viewing a single flat.
      Furthermore, instead of buying brand new furniture (usually with credit), buy 2nd furniture. Lots of brand new 2nd things that you'll get cheap (international people relocating back to their home countries, etc.).
      Another thing is that the Northern Suburbs are way more affordable than the Southern Suburbs, i.e., R8 500 for a two bed in the North is a matchbox studio in the South. There are obviously trade-offs for both areas like hectic traffic when you stay up north.
      Bonus: Avoid places like Parklands, Blouberg, Table View (Midrand lifestyle). Well... I guess this is a matter of preferences.
