Hi Cath1974. We own furnished houses in Brisbane and there are other landlords like us that rent their homes on a short term basis. If you are looking at another city you might like to search on
www.google.com.au About 90% of our guests are UK migrants, they tell us that it is really easy to find a furnished home for rent over there - definitely not the case here. In Brisbane we are now running at less than a 1% vacancy rate, which means that it is extremely difficult to get a nice rental home - let alone a furnished one. Don't let that put you off coming to Brisbane, we are experiencing a boom at the moment because all you guys want to come and live here! Our culture is very much the same as yours, your children fit in at school, employers want you to work for them etc. Our guests are often concerned about being able to find a job, please don't be frightened! We have such a low unemployment rate in Brisbane, if you make it through the Australian Visa process, you will most likely have a job in the first week or so. You are already short listed in the workplace because you have been checked by the Australian Government! All the best, Karen.
