Hi,

Just looking for some advice really, and wondering if anyone has used or has a recommendation for a financial planner, or immigration specialist who can provide advice on moving to to Australia from the UK in terms of finances and asset management.

I have a spousal visa which I activated last year just before the 1 year deadline, and now need to have fully emigrated with my partner by 2026.

In the UK I own my home outright with no mortgage and I rent this house out for a rental income, my partner and I also have a 2nd property which we own together however on this house we have a mortgage which is relatively new so in the early stages of paying it off. 

I'm so lost with the information which is out there in terms of selling up and transferring all funds to Australia to purchase a home, or whether to keep a rental in the UK. And would like some professional advice on how best to manage the move. Just want to ensure we make the right decisions for our financial situation to give us the best start on our new life in Australia.

Any help, or recommendation of help would be HUGELY appreciated! I understand that the prospect of finding the right advisor might seem daunting, but platforms like ico-forums can indeed be valuable resources for connecting with professionals who have expertise in various aspects of finance and immigration.

Thank you

Hi there,

Navigating the complexities of financial planning and immigration can indeed be overwhelming, especially when considering a move as significant as yours from the UK to Australia. It's commendable that you're seeking professional advice to ensure the smoothest transition possible.

Can I check my status in the health system somehow ?

I'm sorry if I don't understand something...

Thanks 
I begin to understand what I should do next and in what order !
