Ha ha . Thank you folks for your replies.Was out on a vacation w/o any Gizmos(first time in 8 years), never had a chance to check any of the forums. Fantastic experience, peace and quiet all around..
OK. That was OT.
We make around 240 in the US, so looking at the offers we have had so far 275+ is on the cards. We might have to compromise on the size of the house(close to 5k sq ft here) and on the general standard of lifestyle(cars,schools et al) .Mortgages for eg look to be massive in Oz for a similar property.
Ah well, you win some you lose some...
