Hi Andy, just want to let you know that trade work is highly regulated in oz and you will need a licence for each specific trade although you can work under supervision of licence holders. My husband was in a similar position to you when we came to Sydney 4 years ago - happy to help if you want to pm.

Hi, just wanted to update you all regarding remortgaging UK property whilst on PR visa in Australia - it is not easy but it can be done! Finally after 8 months of investigating, being knocked back and a lengthy and costly application (think around 5 k in total fees) - we have been offered a mortgage!! For us it will be worth it but obviously not an easy process. Happy to give further info if any wants to pm me. Just wanted to reassure you that it is not impossible ....:biggrin: No false declarations made and did not have to leave the country either

Hi drewby, i too am experiencing problems trying to find a re mortgage with sensible rates for a uk property. I would like to release some equity to buy here in oz. there does appear to be some rule or law which makes the process difficult (hence more expensive), but am struggling to get a definitive answer as to what this is. Have you managed to find any meaningful advice, or found a suitable broker to help you out? any advice appreciated, thanks
