Selling or leaving your house ???

Hi all,
My family and I are looking at being granted our visa in the next couple of months.

The problem is this;
I have been offered a 457 sponsored visa and my new job comes with an apartment for a few weeks until I get my self settled.
This means that I may need to go to Oz on my own for a month or two leaving my Wife and 3 kids to try and sell the house.
We have about £30,000 in the house (if it sales for the asking price) but by the time wev'e paid all our bills and fees, we'd belucky to have £10,000 left over.
This £10,000 will be our costs for shipping fees, flights for my family etc etc.
Here is my options and I was wondering if anyone else has done the following:
1. Wait to sell the house and get as much cash as possible (means leaving wife and kids) but no guarantees of selling at the moment.
2. get a loan on the house for say £10,000 and just leave the bloody house and get to Oz as a family.
3. none of the above (someone on here got a better solution).

Is there any way the mortgage company can catch up with us in Oz ?
Will they check our credit once in Oz ?

Any advise please.

Aaron
