Hi everyone,

Well we're moving to Perth in the first week of September.

Nervous but excited!

Anyone else got similar plans?

Hi there,

I have a job offer in Balcatta but we're not sure where we're gonna live yet.
We do like the look of the northern beach areas.
At the moment we're in the process of getting a short term rental, we've looked at a few from Wanneroo to Quinns Rocks even Mandurah! Big place!
Any suggestions on areas? anyone?

Hi
My job offer is in Subiaco at the King Edward Memorial Hospital. We are not sure where to live yet as in North or South of the river. I would like a house with a pool so am happy to live in a land a bit. We will try and rent for the first 6 months t just to get an idea of the areas. I think public transport is quite good. Hope it all goes well for you.

We live in Mandurah and love it. Been here 3 months now. However, if your job is in Balcatta, then Mandurah is probably not the place to be, unless you don't mind travelling lots. You're probably looking at at least an hour plus each way.

Hi David,
We had to take a part exchange house against ours, which we're gonna rent out.
So we're probably gonna rent a house for the first year or so. We're not in a hurry to buy, but it is nice to own your own house.. Good luck to you all.

Well we'll have a good look around and if we like the area then we'll change jobs!!!!
