Linda C

Thanks for that AliQ.  I have spoken to Linda at Kent earlier in the year but will need to get an updated quote.  This is all so stressful!   Glad your move went well and I hope you've settled back in the UK and are happy?  

Hi Robe.   I'm in the process of moving back to the UK too.  The TOR1 form was fairly straightforward: just have to make sure you have everything you need as you can't save as you go. 

Whilst on this thread,  can anyone recommend a shipping agent going from Perth to Kent area of UK.   I'm liaising with Grace Removals at the moment,  but they are mucking me about.   Thanks.

I think the biggest piece of advice would be to make sure you have citizenship before you leave (if you haven't already got it). This last 6 months we seem to have had loads of questions / threads from people about gaining Resident return visa's so they can re enter Aus.

Lots of luck with everything, we have had quite a few members move back so you should get some good tips and advice on here.

Thanks Cal.  I became an Aussie Citizen 10 years ago when you only had to be here 2 years.   I believed that's all changed now.   My partner (ex)  returned  to UK 5 years ago,  so I'm just finding it a bit daunting doing this on my own!   

Thanks, that's great advice for anyone moving back, you don't always think of these things with everything else going on!  I'm ok on that score, I actually spent 9 months back home last year and managed to open accounts whilst there.  It's everything else I'm struggling with!  What do I take back regards household stuff, and most of all what shipping company do I use.  Has anyone any recommendations, or otherwise, on international removal companies.  I'm going back to Kent in the South 

Hi, I'm new on here and it's so great to read all your positive news about moving back to the UK.    I have lived in  Perth for 12 years and am now in the process of selling my house and moving back to Kent.   I'm finding all the planning a bit overwhelming at the moment so any advice would be very welcome!!
