Hi everyone, not been on for a while- busy busy!!
Thanks for your post Helaine, £2,200???
Blimey, now i'm officially pooping it! We'll just have to shop around for the best deal, we'll find the money for the dogs somehow, what's worrying me more is getting permission for four of them!
Right, I have a few questions, if anyone knows the answers i'd be very grateful.
Our credit score at the moment is not great, would it make any difference to our visa application if we waited until it was better, thus delaying our application?
We were wondering if it would be worth Craig going out earlier than me and the kids to find work, check out areas, schools, kennels etc. It would ease the stress of getting there all together and then having to worry about him finding work as soon as we get there, he could go as early as Christmas and if we get granted a visa come back for a few weeks to help us with the move. Is this worth doing? If so, which visa would he initially apply for? Would it help our
PR Visa application if he's already lived and worked there for a while?
How easy is it to get a mortgage, what sort of mortgages are available and is there such a thing as a self-build mortgage?
Craig's wondering about his tools, he has lots of tools and the expense of replacing them all when we get there would be huge- would he be able to take them with him? They run on 110v with a transformer. It's all gobbledygook to me!!
I also want to ask roughly how long the whole process is likely to take and how much it will cost, but I suppose that's like asking how long's a piece of string??
