Good news...looked into rental, interest only mortgages and have appeared to have found a tenant already- fingers x!!!!!! hopefully this is our much needed break!! Thanks for all the posts guys!! Xx

Not sure if its because we'd need to borrow more to be able to do the move?

Hi, thanks all. The builder idea isnt a bad thought actually, although we already live on a housing development, but may be worth looking into!! thankxx We looked into doing the interest only option and renting, but they said it had to be repayment. I totally agree with you, the market is terrble, I'm hoping that now the summer hols are at an end it might pick up-fingers x!!!! Hopefully Perth isnt too far away now, everything else is sorted!! xx

Thanks guys. Id love to be there before Xmas too, but am thinking now that even if we get a buyer it can take so long what with troubles exchanging, chains and completion etc that its gonna be the new year before anything happens-maybe I'm now just becoming cynical!?! You could be right about the over 6 months thing, we're getting on for a year now!! Yes I think you're right about the size, it's the wrong end of the market!! i hope you guys have more luck than me, good luck. Xx

Thanks Rupert. Yes, We toyed with the idea of renting, but it's quite a big house with a similar sized mortgage and once we'd done the finances based on what we'd get in rent, we were going to be worse off. We've recently redecorated virtually the while house and had new flooring put down too, but it's just so painful!!

I am a qualified Nurse, a mum with a hubby and 2 kids (10 & 7). We were granted a visa in May and are all ready to go to Perth....but....We are currently trying to sell our house and its taking MONTHS, different agents and price drop later, still nothing!!!! I'm becoming so desperate about the whole thing, as our lives are now completely on hold and we're in a state of limbo until its sold. Has anyone else experienced this, or going through the same thing, as the removal Company who we're booked with say theres a lot of people in the same situtation, but I feel like we're the only ones!!! It would be so nice to speak to someone who is in the same place as us right now! :embarrassed: Thanks xx
