A home in Ningbo, a Chinese lease you have actually read, and a person on WeChat after the keys are yours.
Commute, pets, budget, and how long you are staying. We shortlist homes that fit, and we say so when a place does not.
Airport, the first nights, the keys. Arranged before you land, so the first day in Ningbo is not a scavenger hunt.
A SIM in your name, home internet, and WeChat Pay that can actually pay for dinner.
We go through the Chinese contract with you: rent, deposit, what is included, and the clauses worth questioning. You get a written summary before you pay.
When something breaks, you message us. We call the compound and the repairman.
An extension, an early exit, the handover. We stay with it until the keys are back.
Five things that stall a move if they are left until the second week. We do them with you.
A local SIM, in your name, before the building group chat starts.
Installed, verified, and able to pay for dinner and the utilities.
Which branch will open an account for a new arrival, which papers to bring, and someone beside you at the counter.
The police-station registration, inside the window Ningbo actually enforces.
For a work visa or residence permit, we book the entry-exit health centre and go with you.
The contract is the beginning of living in Ningbo, not the end of the job.
Write to us on WeChat. We speak to the compound management and the repairman, and we stay on it until the thing is fixed.
About two months before the end, we ask whether you are staying. If you are, we negotiate the new term and sit with you when it is signed.
We look at the apartment before you move out, agree what needs repair, and stand with you on the handover day.
Internet, the SIM, the bank account. We close what you ask us to close, and help sell furniture you are not taking.
Ningbo, located in Zhejiang Province, is one of China’s oldest cities with a history spanning over 7,000 years. It is known for its role as a major port city and its vibrant cultural scene.
Ningbo was a key stop on the ancient Maritime Silk Road, facilitating trade with Southeast Asia and beyond. The city has preserved many historical sites, such as the Tianyi Pavilion, one of the oldest private libraries in China.
Tourists can visit the Ningbo Old Bund, the Tianyi Pavilion, and the Baoguo Temple. Ningbo is also known for its seafood and traditional Ningbo cuisine, such as Ningbo Tangyuan (glutinous rice dumplings).
Ningbo’s rich history, cultural landmarks, and vibrant food scene make it a city worth exploring in eastern China.
Where people near the apartment actually buy food, and where a new kitchen gets stocked. Not the mall on the billboard.
Places within a short walk of the homes we show, including the ones that take a foreign card.
What is worth crossing Ningbo for, and what is only worth the postcard.
Which line, which exit, and how long the walk from the station is on a wet morning.
International schools that sit inside a sensible commute of the homes we are willing to show.
We offer apartments, villas, serviced apartments, and shared accommodations across major Chinese cities, covering a wide range of budgets and layouts for expats.
Our team guides you from shortlisting and viewings to negotiation and lease signing. We explain key clauses in English and help coordinate deposits, inventory checks, and move-in dates.
Yes. Foreigners generally must register their address at the local police station (派出所) shortly after moving into a private apartment. Hotels often handle this automatically; apartments usually do not. We can accompany you or coordinate with your landlord.
Yes. We provide guidance and coordination for common immigration paperwork, and can connect you with specialists for work permits, Z visas, and residence permit renewals depending on your case.
Absolutely. We assist with electricity, water, gas where applicable, broadband installation, and Wi-Fi setup so you can settle in quickly after move-in.
We help prepare documents, choose foreigner-friendly branches or outlets, and accompany you for bank account opening and real-name SIM registration needed for WeChat, Alipay, and OTP verification.
Early termination depends on your contract. We review break clauses, help communicate with the landlord or agent, and support a smoother handover to reduce deposit disputes whenever possible.
Many expat-oriented apartments are furnished or semi-furnished, but inventory varies. We clarify what is included before you sign and can help source extras if needed.
Fees depend on the service scope and city. For rentals arranged through ChinaHomeRent, pricing is explained upfront before you proceed so there are no surprises.
Yes. We can shortlist international or bilingual school areas, compare commute options, and align housing search with your preferred campus and lifestyle.

You send the brief. We shortlist, view with you, and walk through the Chinese lease before any money moves.
We do the police-station residence registration, and we can walk you through the visa steps. We do not issue visas.
Electricity, water, gas, and home internet, in the first days after you get the keys. A local SIM as well, in your name where the shop allows it.
We read what your contract already says about leaving early, then talk to the landlord about notice, repairs, and the deposit.
We find the apartment, read the lease with you, and stay on WeChat after the keys are in your hand.
English on the call. Chinese on the contract. The same person sits in both.
Apartments someone from this desk has been inside. Not a scrape of every listing in Ningbo.
The agent who took the first brief is the one in the room when you sign.
The landlord, the deposit, and the clauses, on a page you can keep.
If the lock fails on a Sunday, there is still a person to message.
Which gate, which metro exit, and which school run works on a weekday morning.
Budget, pets, the date you land, the neighbourhood you keep coming back to. We reply with homes that fit.
