Thank you - Original information gained from Haskewlaw.com emigration services they state:-“ Temporary residents are not permitted to purchase established dwellings as investment properties, to rent out, or as holiday homes. Temporary residents need to apply and receive approval before purchasing an established dwelling for redevelopment. The Uk property wld also rent out on 6 months tenancy and therefore insurance wld be ok as a tenanted property - or relation to live there for period whilst away. I realise tax returns wld be required in each country but they have dual arrangement. Okay so:- Can we obtain a PR visa either 804 or 103 first (rather than temp) whilst in England? If so then can we purchase property and would this save the FIRB and additional stamp duty or wld this still be payable? Then wld this permit us to rent out?

We are looking to go to Aus on 804 visa - via daughter and step daughter sponsor. They have lived there 6 years and we wld like to purchase property. Idea was to live 6 moths Oz and 6 uk - renting out Oz property when in uk to finance bills and flights. Wld be buying for cash but seems lot of fees for doing this and from what I have read Oz does not allow us to rent out. Can u give any info that might help please?
