Council Tax

Like Bob says, the tenant does not pay the council tax, other rates etc., the landlord does. The tenant pays for usage of utilities only which includes metered water.

I can only encourage you to think seriously about going to Oz, wish we could have gone years ago but we are going as retirees. Fortunately we bought land and had a house built in the Rockingham area a couple of years ago in preparation and have been lucky to have good tenants. We have many friends there already as we have been going to WA for several years for holidays. The building boom continues and I am sure your husband/partner would find plenty of work.

The guy who painted our house for us comes from the North of England, is in his 30's, hasn't looked back and just loves the lifestyle. If you are prepared to work you will make a go of it - Good luck
