In Perth... ​Only selling as moving to the other side of Australia. I will let it go for $19000 which is the cheapest low miles 2013 Kia Sportage by far. Been a fantastic car, just serviced, in excellent condition. If you want a trouble free car fresh off the plane this is the one. If i can't sell it for $19000 i will keep the car and drive it over. Sort of tempted to do this BUT i think $19000 is a very very fair price, plus warranty until late 2018. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/woodvale/cars-vans-utes/2013-kia-sportage-automatic-24k-km-full-dealer-sh/1111143393

Have you considered Perth - it would easily tick all your boxes. I can offer advise on areas. Have a look at Carine or Duncraig to start off - very well regarded public schools 5 min to the beach 15 min to CBD or 20min by train.

If it were me and i needed the money say by August this year - I would balance the risk and transfer half before the vote and the remainder after. The A$ is currently drifting downwards after the RBA speech today helped by commodities flagging. Think long and hard and go with a decision which will give you the least regret in your time frame - no one will ever know when to get the best rate, we can only make an educated guess which is still a 100% gamble!!! The longterm view is the pound should strengthen against the A$ as rates are likely to go up in the UK before Aus (and we need a low dollar to pull us out of the mining bust so it will be encouraged) BUT that would be from late this year and ANY THING could happen to throw that view upside down!
