Hi

You will need a shoet term furnished let there are sites that do them we used holidaylettings.co.uk. To rent in oz you have to physically view the place at a viewing usually 30 mins and every interested party goes you give your details and the leassor picks. If you get a short term hol let you can then get a reference off the landlord and an aussie reference is worth 100 uk refs . Not much beach near hendo , Coogee is nice but expensive hope this can help

We prefer to build rather than buy and I have been doing me homework and there are loads of builders who can build for around $130,000 with land being around $200,000 - am I right?
What are your friends rental properties per week and do they allow pets?

Thanks for you help

Hi Sharon, I have just joined poms in oz and noticed your thread. We are in the same boat, we are hoping to move to Perth next June also. I was hoping you could help me on any advice you could pass on regarding areas to live or land to buy. We will be a family of 6 when we arrive. Cheers joe

Hi
Land sales generally start about $200000 for 300 sq metre blocks they are called cottage blocks as you det a 3 or 4 x2 and a small alfresco area (garden). Look on real estate ,com. Areas near to the coast command dearer price s near us we are renting at Smerly nor, at Burns beach a new developement a 500 to 500 block at the top end the most inland about 700 yards the prices are about $500000 + blocks next to the coast on the same dev are $1 million + . Perth news online a bit on Dalyellup in the south west 200 metre blocks were being sold for 170 + Depends where you want to be but I guess you prob be looking at 280 300 k for a plot in most areas

Hi Joe
Nice to hear from you - where are you from in the UK?
We are looking at Rockingham mainly because we have a friend who lives there and she loves it.
We have another friend who has a property in Wannaup (not sure if the spelling is right) and he had his house built - it only cost him $350,000 for the land and the house, however the house prices have gone up loads since then. He has kindly offered this house to us for a rekki - which we hope to do next April (although me an my hubby are argueing about this already!).
We have never been to Oz which friends and family find bizzare that we want to live there - but we are sick of this Country taxes / crime / standard of living ........ the list is quite long. I have not got rose tinted glasses and fully understand Oz is far from paradise - but what attracts us is the outdoors lifestyle and the standard of life that we can achieve out there.
Schools are very important as our youngest is 12 and we need to get her settled into a good school. We have looked at some private schools - we are not flash - but the cost of the private education is much cheaper than here in the UK (around £2,500 per year against similar fees per term here).
We are posting our TRA at the end of this week and the application form for the school we have chosen (waiting lists are long at this school) so it all will seem more real. We are also putting our house up for sale NOW, after reading some of the horror stories of people on here who can't sell - we decided to sell now and rent for 3 reasons, we will save around £600 per month by renting against mortgage / property market is crappy and I feel it will get worse and I dont want to be stuck here / I will have the equity in the bank sooner.
Sorry to bleet on - just felt the need to tell someone where I am at

Keep in touch and let me know how you get on

Regards
Sharon

Thank you for posting help. We are moving to Perth in March 2009 and would love to rent somewhere unfurnished straight away as we will have our chocolate labrador dog with us and I guess renting furnished with an animal is even more difficult, hopefully organise shipping to arrive in Perth at the same time as we do. Please can I get in touch with you nearer the time and see if you have anything available. We are going to activate our visas hopefully in November so maybe could meet up with you. So scared I am going to be lonely with 2 year old, and would love to make friends before we go. Looking at Kinross, Butler, anywhere north of Perth really. Thank you again, Amanda
