"Pitfalls" of employment
The work in Petersburg is easy to find. But man, tending to change the lifestyle does not suit any job. First you need to find one where it is either not required to register in St.-Petersburg or Leningrad region or firm can provide such a check. In the first case, it is most often temporary employment in the second – not too well-paid, which is usually not expect the indigenous people.
Before you pack, please visit the employment Center and see the list of vacancies. It is possible that there you will find something suitable. Don't forget to look and jobs in the Leningrad region. Please pay special attention to Vsevolozhsk district. It is, of course, refers to the Leningrad region, but in fact has long been a part of St. Petersburg, and you can get there including the subway.
Interesting work can be found in the Lomonosov district, and also almost in the area of Saint Petersburg. In addition, in the region there are several cities where there is major construction, and manpower in short supply, and rental housing cheaper than in the city.
Housing
Housing in Saint-Petersburg can be solved in many ways. On the market – quite a large number of new housing construction is ongoing. Buy an apartment easy, but need to deal only with reliable brokers.
To contact first the developer is quite risky, even if he is actively advertising campaign and promises the most favorable terms. If you have friends or relatives in St. Petersburg, recently bought a new apartment, consult with them. You can find employment opportunities on the enterprise which organizes for its employees a variety of mortgage programs.
The second option is a home exchange. It's real, although prices in your city and Saint-Petersburg can be very different. As a rule, the exchange with the other regional center is the loss of the room or the relevant Supplement. In this apartment in the centre significantly more expensive than on the outskirts. As for the Leningrad region, then there must be an equivalent exchange.
The third opportunity – employment with the provision of departmental housing. This order still exists, but you will face several challenges. First, the current Housing code of you, even after working for many years in the company, have a right to housing, unless the municipality decides for you to leave him. Secondly, in case of dismissal on grounds of redundancy you are losing housing. Thirdly, work in which they own housing, as a rule, underpaid.
To rent an apartment
The most popular among visitors the option of tenure – rent housing. It is possible to provide temporary registration, many apartment owners provide similar service. But to go to different questionable firms that allegedly can register, not worth it. The price depends mainly on the location of the house. A room in a communal apartment in the center will cost about the same as a separate Studio apartment in a residential area. In addition, and in the residential areas, prices are dissimilar, the farther from the subway, the cheaper. But that will be cheap to rent a house in the suburbs, especially should not count. In Strelna or Peterhof prices are not lower than in the center of St. Petersburg.
Should I contact the Agency? Realtors provide some assurance. The main advantage of renting a property through an Agency – contract. It can be handy if you need to send your child to school or daycare at the place of residence.
