Housing abroad
A vetted place to live, a lease you understand, no remote scams.
Targeted search based on your budget and neighbourhood, listing and landlord checks, introductions, lease review and a move-in checklist. You land with a booked home, not a list of links.
Guarantee — If no viewing (in person or video) is secured within the stated turnaround, the plan is refunded in full.

Frequently asked questions
Verified review
« I was scared to sign a lease in Barcelona from Lyon. Rootovia had the nota simple checked, joined me on video for three viewings and negotiated the deposit down to one month. I moved in without ever setting foot in the flat before the day itself. »
« Munich is brutal. We first secured a Zwischenmiete to file the Anmeldung, then the real flat a month later. The German-style file they prepared clearly set me apart from the other applicants at group viewings. »
« The advice to spend 6 weeks furnished before signing a long lease saved me from a real scam: the “too good” listing in Príncipe Real was fake. We found a place in Marvila, well connected, for €400 less. »
