This is a old thread but gives some idea of price... http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/transport-shipping/166269-movecube-australia-uk.html I just did the request quote for a large move cube and it came out at $2166.50 - $2211.50 depending on shipping time, with a $300 deposit, that was packing/loading & unloading myself, why not give it a go yourself as you know what you want to ship and approx. size of cube needed...

From our own experience (and not going into great detail) finish education in the UK. UK qualifications can be converted to Australian equivalent but not the other way round it seems (recent experience) Our eldest finished his education in UK our youngest 14 at the time we came out is currently in education here and not doing very well at all, in hindsight I wish we had stayed for him to finish his GCSE's in the UK. In hindsight there are a lot of things I would have done differently but that is the beauty of hindsight.... :jimlad:

We tried several mortgage providers both last year and again this year when we went back on holiday, to get a mortgage - any type of mortgage.... We were continually told they expect one of you to be earning a UK wage for at least six months and it had to be in a permanent position if the job had a probationary period then we had to wait until that period was over before applying - doesn't matter that we had a mortgage for 20+ years before moving to Oz and that we have a substantial deposit and able to pay mortgage while we stay here for a few years longer. We are both in well paid positions. Our credit history is also very very good, we've kept bank accounts and credit cards, registered at a UK address for the electoral role. Hindsight is a beautiful thing and I wish we hadn't sold our house or had been able to buy something smaller prior to leaving to let out but would have something to go back to in the future, we've only been here 2yrs...

Helz980 Very jealous, spring is my favourite season, love daffodils, snowdrops and the lush greenery of home :smile: Chortlepuss, I have one son (15) who would/will stay, hubbie who definitely wants to stay and the other son (18) would go back tomorrow and is planning his escape, like you I will have to up my visits home, we're going back in June for a month and I am planning on going back again on my own in November to get the Christmas feel and go shopping with my mother - I do miss that..

I'm hoping we hear something next week:wub: Here's our timeline: Employer Nomination 186 Direct Entry: 09/01/14 Approved: 17/03/14 Application submitted 14/08/14 - delay submitting was due to skills assessment taking 5 months despite the fact we'd had one previously to get out here on a 457..... Federal Police checks uploaded: 23/08/14 - then discovered in December they wanted one for our 15 yr old too..... Medicals completed 01/09 UK Police Checks uploaded 24/12/14 - didn't think we needed these as we've been in Australia over 18 months but we did go back for a holiday.....
