If you're just taking the $ value and divding it by the current exchange rate then you are going to get a misleading view.

It seems very strange that you would have to downsize from a large 4 bed house with swimming pool in the UK to a smaller one in Oz. It should be the other way around!
You must not live in an area in the UK with high house prices.

A large 4 bed with swimming pool in the area I live in would be getting on for £1m.
Even if you actually only owned 25% of that & with the crappy ex rate you'd still have $500K to spend on a house in Oz which depending on what city/area you went to you could almost buy the same house outright for cash.
