New builds tend to cost tens of per cent more, and a furnished flat adds more on top. You'll find the exact new-build price for each neighbourhood on its page, in the Rent section.

What locals pay
A listing shows the asking price, not what people actually pay. That's why every neighbourhood page asks locals what they pay in rent and service charges. Answers are anonymous and we only show the median of at least five answers.
What to budget for besides rent
- Service charges and energy. Heating, water, the lift and cleaning of the building are paid as monthly advances and settled once a year. In an older building with a gas boiler, expect different amounts than in a new build with central heating.
- Deposit (kauce). The landlord may ask for at most three months' rent and must return it, with interest, when the tenancy ends. More in the guide to the tenancy agreement.
- Agency commission. When renting through an estate agent, there is often a one-off commission as well, usually one month's rent.
- Transport. Cheaper rent on the edge of the city can be eaten up by a longer commute. On every neighbourhood page you can work out the journey to your own address.
