Destination housing for international families

A home in China,
before you land

Twelve cities. English contracts. A local desk that stays from the shortlist to the week you hold the keys — and through the lease after that.

Housing search · Settling-in · Tenancy care

Who this is for

Three kinds of move make up most of the work.

Corporate assignees

Foreign-company employees, including group moves. Progress can be reported to the employer as well as the family.

Families

The school run and the neighborhood come before the floor plan. We start with the commute, then the compound.

Teachers and long stays

A home for a school year or a contract, with utilities, internet, and a person to call when something breaks.

About Myways

The work starts with the city, not with a listing.

A local desk for people who did not grow up here

Myways finds long-stay homes for international assignees, families and teachers in twelve Chinese cities. The shortlist is built around school, commute and budget, then walked in person. Contracts are negotiated in English. Police registration, utilities and the first weeks sit on the same file.

Hefei carries the fullest city briefing — districts, schools and compounds. Every other city on this page has its own rental desk and the same standard: someone on the ground, not a national call center.

How a move runs

Four beats, from the first call to the week you are living there.

01

Brief and shortlist

City, school, commute, budget and layout. You get a destination note and a property proposal before you fly.

02

Look and see

Airport pickup, a SIM, the apps daily life uses, then compound tours with someone who already knows the building.

03

Lease and move-in

Offer, English contract, police registration, utilities, inventory, and a handover that is written down.

04

Stay, then leave

One contact for maintenance through the lease, and a checkout — utilities, deposit, airport — when the assignment ends.

What stays after the viewing

The difference is who answers, and who is still there after the keys.

A desk in the city

Consultants live where the homes are. Hefei, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuhan and the other eight are local files, not a shared inbox.

English through the lease

Viewing notes, the offer and the contract stay in English. Chinese paperwork is handled beside that, not instead of it.

After the viewing

Internet, police registration, maintenance and departure stay on the same case. The introduction does not end at the door.
