hi guys, thanks for the reply's. i agree,renting sight unseen is not ideal but with money constraints i may have no option. i phoned a couple of real estate agents who will rent sight unseen. if i go down this road i can only hope that the pictures do the property justice,because as you say some rentals are a sight for sore eyes. i saw some crackers in perth,still bring a smile to my face, also remember waiting months for refund of my bond, ah!!!!!! those were the days....

hi, looking for some advice,my family and i arrive in launceston on the 29th january,i've been trying to set up a rental from the UK before we arrive,sight unseen,but none of the realestate agents get back to me,i'm planning on staying in a motel for a few days when we first arrive but i'm dreading having no where to stay. i lived in australia before renting with companies such as, the professionals and, the vines realestate{PERTH WA}. anybody know what my next move might be? thanks. fitzpm.

hi vivien,thanks for getting back, i worked for a major distribution company in the UK as a health and safety manager,whilst in perth i worked in a warehouse as a stock manager and forklift truck driver,i also have 10yrs sales manager experience and worked as a driving instructor but pretty much willing to try my hand at anything that comes along,can't be to fussy can we? ps what is PIOers? :goofy:

thanks for getting back,has given me a little bit of hope,tasmania looks beautiful,having never been it's a huge gamble,that was our first choice to migrate to but we chickened out and went to perth instead,perth is lovely but i couldn't move back there so it's off to tasmania next year. here's hoping it'll be alright. thanks.

hi everyone,new to the forum looking for some advice. my family and i plan on moving to launceston,maybe hobart, aug 2013,my worry is about the lack of jobs,my wife is a midwife so hopefully no problem there,i'm willing to do about almost anything,no change that,anything,i'm worried that there might not be anything. we would love to make our home in tasmania,i'm hoping it's not as bleak as it's painted when it comes to jobs. my family and i migrated to PERTH WA 2003 but returned to SCOTLAND 2008,various reasons,we planned on returning to brisbane but feel pulled to TASMANIA as it seems to everything that we want and need. no problems about moving to brisbane but would just prefer TASMANIA. appreciate any answers and possible advice.:rolleyes:
