How it Works?
Experience seamless onboarding with Here. We provide a fully digital booking process from anywhere in the world, right up until you arrive at your new home in China.
Inquiry & Match
Reach out to us with your relocation timeline, budget, and lifestyle preferences. We review your criteria to curate a personalized list of available properties before you even pack your bags.
- Here Coliving: Standardized, managed spaces by Here perfect for immediate community integration.
- Market Listings: From modern studios in Jing'an to historic lane houses in the Former French Concession, discover market properties not managed by Here.
Viewing & Negotiation
We offer a highly flexible viewing experience tailored to international relocations. If you are overseas, we conduct comprehensive online virtual tours. If you are already in Shanghai, we arrange efficient onsite walk-throughs.
During this phase, we act as your representative, negotiating directly with landlords to secure market-standard pricing and favorable terms—including "diplomatic clauses" if your company frequently relocates you.
Digital Contracting
Navigating Chinese real estate law can be complex, so we handle the administration for you to ensure full legal compliance. Everything is managed digitally via secure platforms like PandaDoc.
- Bilingual Contracts: All leases are drafted in both Chinese and English for absolute clarity.
- Corporate Requirements: We outline specifics regarding the fapiao (official tax invoice) if your employer requires it for rent reimbursement.
Transparent Payment
We believe in upfront financial transparency. Your initial move-in payment will typically consist of your first rental period, a refundable security deposit (standard market practice is 1 to 2 months' rent), and our one-time Agency Service Fee.
For standard long-term leases, our all-in service fee is 50% of your first month's rent (subject to a CNY 3,000 minimum). For our managed Flexpals coliving spaces, both costs and deposits are fully standardized. All payments are processed securely online prior to your arrival.
Move-in & Legalities
Your arrival should be stress-free. We coordinate your check-in, ensure the flat is prepared, and provide immediate setup assistance.
- Police Registration: We assist you in obtaining the mandatory Accommodation Registration Form from the local police station—a critical requirement for your Chinese visa and residence permit.
- Ongoing Support: Our one-time fee covers support for the duration of your stay, from utility troubleshooting to final check-out coordination.
