Short answer. For a temporary stay of several weeks, check first whether the accommodation accepts your length of stay and how it is priced for a month; these conditions vary and are not always published. Then check what you will need day to day: a kitchen, a way to do laundry, room for your pets, parking, and the distance to your works or new home.

The short answer

Plan for delays: building works and purchases often take longer than expected. Ask the host before booking whether you can extend and on what terms.

Stay close enough to visit the site or the notary easily, but not necessarily next door: a quiet village can be a better place to rest after long days.
