Find a flat in Saint Petersburg from your couch or office — from Russia or abroad:
With Flatser, the all-inclusive, remote property service for Saint Petersburg flats.
This is what we do for you
1
We help you make an informed decision, taking into account both hard facts — such as transportation times, crime rates and many more — and softer facts such as the atmosphere and feeling of an area.
2
Given your area preferences, we screen all available flats, spanning all agencies according to your budget requirements. We then present you with the best fits.
3
If you are busy or do not (yet) live in Saint Petersburg, we will remotely do the flat viewing for you. One of our employees will view the flat and live-stream a video of the viewing (or create a narrated video you can view later). If you want to see the flats yourself, we will schedule viewings of your favourite flats according to your preferences.
4
Even after you have found your dream flat, we continue to make the process easier for you. We negotiate the rent with the landlord or agency and make sure all required paperwork is handled quickly and efficiently.
Together with you we find the neighbourhood that is best suited to your individual needs.
We search flats to your specifications and provide an overview in a single document.
We make sure that all flats we send you are still available on the market.
We arrange and schedule viewings according to your availability and preferences.
We do flat viewings for you and provide you with online or live documentation of the visit.
We bid on your preferred flat and advise you on fair rental rates for the property.
We help you hand in necessary documentation remotely.
You don't even need to be in the city to find the perfect flat with us.
No hassle for you. No need to know the Saint Petersburg lettings market, no need for arduous internet research, no need for viewing scheduling, no need for lunch-break viewings.
No need to call, meet, and negotiate with dozens of agents and landlords. With Flatser you only need one contact.
We will negotiate a fair rental rate for you; no matter if you are inexperienced in renting flats.
We exclusively represent your interests, not those of the landlords.
We protect you from scam-offers.
I was looking for a flat for me and my friends. Each agency only wanted to push their flats and I did not have time for the comparisons. Flatser provided a great overview and we had our flat in a week.Nils de Wolf
My boyfriend and I needed a flat, but I had no idea where the no-go areas were. Flatser's consultants helped me to realise what I am looking for in a flat.Andrea Morlanesì
When I started to work in the city, I needed a flat close to my workplace but most areas close to there were pretty bland and lifeless. The Flatser team helped me to find a good balance. Also, they made sure the letting agencies didn't rip me off...Sammy Balani
With my job, I really don't have time for flat-hunting. I needed a good flat in the centre. I knew what I was looking for, but couldn't do the actual searches. The people from Flatser kept my time involvement in the search at a minimum.Jennifer Iveson

We can also help you find a flat in other cities:
No, we are not an agency, we are relocation specialists. We work across agencies and landlords. We do not rent or sell flats ourselves, we are in the business of making the flat search more convenient for you.
Our prices depend on which of our services you would like to book. For example, one flat report containing five flats would cost 14 000 RUB (250 USD). We will be glad to answer any questions during the free advice session.
We accept
We run different discount campaigns over the year. Make sure to ask our service agent if you are eligible for a discount during your free advice session!
This depends on the flat you rent. Most agents and landlords will ask you to pay a security deposit (usually 1 month of rent) to cover potential damages in the flat that happen during your tenancy. We will advise you on any costs you may have to expect during our free advice session.
No, the costs are per flat. We usually find flats for 1-5 persons. Flats for more than 5 people are more difficult to find in most areas. If your group is larger than 5 people just give us a call and we will advise you on whether we can help you find a flat in your desired area.
If you are already part of a group of people who would like to move in together in a single flat, we’ll be happy to find a flat for you. However, we can’t find any additional roommates for you. We also can’t place you in a flat that is looking for roommates. This is because finding roommates depends a lot on the chemistry between the different people involved. Unfortunately, that is something we cannot influence.
That being said, if you already found a flat with roommates and you would like to get a closer look at the place we will be happy to do a remote viewing for you.
Right now we do not offer search for sublets because their availability is limited and very seasonal. We will be happy to provide remote viewings for sublet apartments that you already identified.
We provide a free advice session and market overview material. Just send us an email with your availability or questions.
First we will give you a short introduction on how the Saint Petersburg lettings market works. Then we will ask you for your living needs and preferences and identify areas that might suit your needs. We will also discuss whether your target rental price is realistic in these areas.
We can find flats for you in less than two days. That being said, we advise you to contact us as soon as you have made the decision to move to Saint Petersburg. Flats are usually available up to a month before move-in date and the availability of good flats decreases after that.
Yes, we will be happy to provide remote viewings for whichever property you are interested in — including but not limited to:
