Furniture and Electrical Goods
Furniture
There are also places where you can have furniture (including Kitchens) made, but again check the quality. Other furniture makers are local craftsmen who don't have any designs/brochures. Others may offer furniture packages.
Owners of newly built apartments have arrived to find that items haven't been installed or snagging not completed etc. Some have had to pay to stay in other apartments as a result of this (at an extra cost).Try and get assurances from the people responsible for snagging and installation of goods and fitments etc that your apartment is ready to use before you arrive.
If you are still having work done on your apartment after your furniture has been supplied it is not likely that you will be able to have any items replaced if someone damages something in your property whilst working in your property. It may be difficult to prove who caused the damage. You will need to consider this at all times, unless you are physically present to oversee any work. You may decide to bring soft furnishings over with you from abroad, or other items which you will leave in your property, so you will need to consider other people using property and possible causing some damage.
