How hard is it to get a house for rent in Colombo?

This is one of the biggest fears of most people that move or planning to move to Colombo has. It is a common fear and it has two sides to it as well; one is that is it really difficult because there is a scarcity of properties or is it because of other reasons. This information that we are about to share will aid you in future when you are hunting for that dream property you are looking for around Colombo.

Is there a scarcity of properties in and around Colombo and its’ suburbs? Surprisingly no. You can do your own research for it and go through all the places that you could look for or ask from anyone you know of and even visit Real Estate portals such as ‘My Lanka Property – visitsrilanka.com/property’ where you’ll encounter number of properties that is there in Colombo and its’ suburbs and even around the cities that would let you easily access the commercial capital Colombo.

Why is it difficult for one to find a proper property in Colombo or in its’ suburbs? It is basically the human needs, requirements and wants is the reason why we struggle as people who are looking to rent a house.

Surrounding environment and the neighbourhood is one of the key reasons why most of the properties that are available for rent don’t suit our requirements or needs. When we look for a property we always consider the surrounding environment and neighbourhood to be a decent one, as we want better influences for the children, better security for the house as well. This is one of the main reasons why most properties that are available for rent are turned down or not considered as suitable by people who are looking at renting a house.

Structure of the house and the way it is built is another one of the reasons that people decide not to rent properties. Some of the house-owners decide to complicate their property by including too many rooms with less space when they have a land of smaller size. You find some of the properties also not properly planned too. So I think if you plan to rent the property that you are building it is better that you do it after consulting a qualified architect so that people who would query will never turn down your property.

Parking facilities is another one of the important facts that properties are turned down by the people who are looking to rent properties. There are some of the well-built beautiful properties with no parking space available. Sometimes people who are looking to rent the property will agree but at times this is one of the key factors that these properties are turned down.

Therefore we can come to a conclusion that this is not a fear that is there because of a scarcity of properties in Colombo but because of certain reasons many properties that are available doesn’t suit the people who seek them thus they tend to keep on searching for the best home.
