Generally the way it works is you pay quarterly fees which pay for maintenance of communal areas, building insurance, liability insurance, and repairs. The amount payable can vary depending on many factors, for example if there is a pool, gym , the size and age average here in Queensland is around $4000 up to $10,000 + per year There is what is known as a body Corporate Committee which is made up of owners who decide on all mattes , agree budgets ect, most are run by strata management companies (who charge a fee) who will communicate via the Body Corporate.There is usually a general meeting every year. The key thing when buying a strata property is to check recent minutes of annual meeting, look at the financial records to check sink fund payments ect this gives an indication on how well run the development is. If you buy via a real estate agent they have to disclose this information to you, its usually on display at a home open. So the key difference is you are an active participant and not just giving money to a leasehold company for whom its about making money.

You get the lump sum which is taxable in Australia if you are in Australia i think its within 6 months of receiving it, then the annual amount you put on your Australian tax return as foreign income and its taxed here, you wont pay tax twice. It can be paid into an Australian bank account.

It permitted in Queensland but many agents won’t do it

It is technically possible, the question is finding an agent that will do it. Obviously you need to get through the application process have proof of employment with proof of income, (paying in advance isn’t always an option) provide references and sign a form saying you are renting without seeing. Most people rent temp accommodation when they arrive. As you say the market is pretty difficult at the moment, you could always give it a go and see what happens

I stayed in the Aerotel terminal 1 a few weeks ago, it’s airside so no head to clear customs, nice big rooms with showers you book in 6 hour blocks cost $221aud for 6 hours which did include a meal

All well and good but try getting a flight back to the UK

I wouldn’t even bother at the moment there are kind of more important issues

I am applying while in UK that same. Screen came up but it said send passport rang the helpline and they confirmed perhaps it’s different rule if applying while in UK if applying from Australia they must accept colour copies

When you apply now to renew a UK passport, if you are a duel national with a current passport from any other country ie Australia you have to send that passport with your expiring one to the passport office , apparently it’s a new thing to check that you have the same name on the UK passport to any other passport you have. And they don’t accept photocopies or even scanned colour copies.
