Hi, I just spoken to an estate agent in Devon (quite rude and clearly wanted me off the phone) anyway, he said that without a job and no credit rating there ( I've been in Australia 10 years), then he only way to get a rental is through a guarantor who needs to earn 36 times the monthly rent per annum... example: rent 1,000 pounds per month...=36,000 pounds income. Anyway, I offered to rent for six months and pay six months rent in advance but I was old that I can't do that because I can't guarantee how I will pay month 7 (because even though the tenancy agreement is six months, it automatically continues (go figure)! So, basically, without a job to go to (and what are the chances of being able to sell property here in Australia and start a job there and everything fall into place at the right time; I won't be able to rent anything!!! Hmm mm big problem selling house here to move half way across he world only to find my family and I will have no where to live. Any suggestions? I hope this makes sense...I'm writing on my Samsung tablet and I am not that good at typing on here.
