Dream Over

[Fredtheman]

Hi Lyn and Sean

The Australain Goverment have given me until the middle of March to get into Australia. Got an email last week to sauy I can go, and I know that I can't sell my house that quick and I wont give it away at any price. So I'm going for 8 days just to validate my visa. Then back to sort out the house sale and so on. I don't wont to be here in five ten or twenty years time. Besides it say with the letter I got and we all the once the visa has been validate you can come and go up to 2012 !!

Validate those visa's!!! then you have up to 5 years to sort everything out. If you still cant go to Oz at least you would have given it a fighting chance.

Hi Lyn and Sean,

So sorry to be reading your post, like a few people saying don,t give up alot of your hard work has been done getting your visa. Russ and I arrived here in Perth October 23rd and as you know he is a plumber we are in a rental at moment Russ has got speaking to many plumbers and had 4 people have offered him work, so is it not possible for you to just come over rent get hubby out to work earn, get kids started and leave house on the market in the UK trouble is its not a good time to be selling with christmas coming up, but spring time is good.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Love Cheryl and Russ

Hi Lyn
Please don't give up yet. If you want this enough you can make it work even if it means some compromises along the way.

Sound like you need a holiday take a short break in Oz
and validate your visa.

Then if your circumstances change you can still move to Australia

sorry but it is no longer a sellers market

Northern rock problem will only get worse!

There are a number of ways forward on this

(1) Reduce the asking price by 15% for Cash buyers or first time buyers only.
(2) Remorgage your house & let it out.

Have just spoken to a friend who works for a uni on the gold coast, have you thought about getting in touch with the uni/college where your children have enrolled to see whether they have Halls of Residence or rentals available for them to stay, usually students coming from overseas take priority for them. We could'nt come straight away when we got our visas and ended up coming for holiday to get them stamped and then had five years. Bit costly but will still enable you to live your dream. Am on Gold Coast if there is anything can do from this end.

Hi

I've done over 1,000 domestic conveyancing transactions for clients. The "cash buyer" is almost always the one who has his dosh arranged in principle but is still going to need a mortgage in order to buy the property.

I've had 3 or 4 genuine cash buyers who did not need mortgages.

I tend to say to Estate Agents, "If this guy is a genuine "cash buyer", why does he want 43 Acacia Avenue instead of Dunhandbagging or something like that - a far better property?"

I've yet to hear a viable answer, frankly.

Cheers

Gill

PS: Where they genuinely don't need a mortgage, I go and walk the boundaries myself to make sure that the Land Registry plan is correct. Obviously I will also be invited into Dunhandbagging. Trust me, I have viewed some truly HIDEOUS houses on behalf of my clients...

One place looked like a wallpaper factory. It was ghastly. I had to have the architect with me because it was necessary to work out whether or not an indoor swimming pool could be added to the house, and I needed him for that so he and I went there together.

We strolled into the Master Bedroom, through that to the Dressing Room and through that to the Owner's Bathroom. I took one look and yelped, "Jim, this bath is nothing short of naffing bloody dangerous. It is RIGHT under the window! If anyone slips getting into this Rose Petal Affair they will go straight out of that window and drop 20 feet into the garden!"

He growled, "Yep, the bath is dangerous but the back wall is falling off this house and that is WORSE. The house has plainly been extended and the extension - which includes the dressing room and bathroom - is clearly not sticking to the original. Did you not see the cracks in the bedroom walls? They are structural cracks, not plaster cracks, so if Dr Bloggs really insists on this house, I will insist on coach-bolts to hold the thing together. By the way, there is no really viable possibility of a Pool House for this place either."

Hi Lyn
Sorry to hear about your house sale falling through ours has too we are going to rent for 6 months now and leave it to the estate agents to to put it on the market again in about 4 months hopefully the market would have picked up by then - we are still going New years Eve to Brisbane and can't wait.
