  • Compare properties with a similar size, location and condition.
  • Ask what the price includes: furniture, equipment or outbuildings.
  • Assess potential repairs and obtain technical advice where needed.
  • Have a notary check the transaction before making a commitment.

An apartment in Flic en Flac or a house elsewhere?

When looking for an apartment for sale by its owner in Flic en Flac, compare floor area, parking, residence charges and the actual distance to the beach. For a house in Moka, Tamarin, Grand Baie or elsewhere, consider commuting, shops and surroundings too. These examples guide your search without promising current availability.

Short-term and holiday rentals from private owners

For a holiday, business trip or temporary home, compare offers for your dates and group size. Check the complete cost of your stay rather than comparing nightly, weekly or monthly rates in isolation.

  • Check dates, occupancy limits and included facilities.
  • Ask about cleaning charges, utilities and any deposit.
  • Confirm cancellation terms and check-in and check-out arrangements.
  • Verify the advertiser’s identity and the terms before making a payment.

The advantages

  • Direct contact with the owner and first-hand property information.
  • Arrange viewings and discuss terms without an intermediary.
  • Potential commission savings where no commission is contractually due.

What to plan for

  • Time needed for enquiries, viewings and follow-up.
  • Prices and information need independent comparison and verification.
  • Negotiations, documents and professional advice must be organised.

A private advert does not guarantee a below-market price. An agency can be useful if you want help with marketing and coordination.
