We are waiting for our passports to be returned from the CHC. Just been to Nova Scotia, loved it. Look at housing around Sackville, Fall River etc. Nearly bought property in Lower Sackville but pulled out as a lot of work was needed post the surveyors report.

We should be landing middle to late October 07. It will be a mad push for work and buying a property. Don't like the idea or the expense of living in a hotel for a month + or renting for a six month term. I know in Calgary a few companies including CANLINK, rent out properties on a weekly or monthly basis. Does any one know of such places around the Sackville/Dartmouth area?

Thanks

PS We have a small dog but might be able to prolong its arrival!

What I have noticed is that there only really seems to be two types of rental:

1) short term, furnished, apartment, located in Halifax
2) long term (generally want 12 months), unfurnished, house, located in suburbs

2) probably would work as you wouldn't have furniture straight away
1) probably wouldn't be in the area where you actually wanted to settle.

There's a company called Premier Executive Suites that specialise in furnished short-term rentals

Thanks for the info.

Hi,

another company is called elite suites. We are in 1 at the moment and they are very good but again locaTED in downtown Halifax and a bit pricey too but very good all the same. Located next door to the Lord Nelson hotel on south park street

If you're heading out over the winter months chances are you will qualify for winter rates for vacation properties, which are open year round and are furnished and you sometimes get a better rate than in a domestic rental property.

Go to www.novascotia.ca and follow the links through to their accommodation listings or reservations team. Tell them your budget and they may be able to point you in the direction of something suitable. It may be slightly out of the Halifax Metro but you'll feel like you're on holiday for a while!

They've helped us anyway.

Good luck
