Hi Everyone We are planning a move back to WA with our 3 Burmese cats - I notice some suburbs / towns only permit 2 cats and anything above that you need a special licence. My question is what does this involve and if you purchase a property and then apply for the permit is it likely to go through as I understand the permit is not transferable from one property to the next (like if we rented while purchasing a house). We plan to build a catio or fully enclose our outdoor patio / living area to keep them contained. Any experience or advice would be appreciated.

Hi I am Australian living in the UK for the last 30 years, my husband is Irish and has a spouse resident visa. We are now planning to move back to WA. My sister back in WA has advised that rentals are hard to come by and as we have two indoor cats to ship we are hoping to be able to buy a property before our final move to give us a "soft landing" and somewhere secure for our pets to be taken to on arrival (post quarantine) as my sister also have indoor cats it will not be possible for us to stay with her in the short term. Can anyone advise if we can get a mortgage in Australia before our permanent arrival and if there are tax implications owing two properties albeit only temporarily? We own our home in the UK and once we have sold that and moved the Australian mortgage would be paid off from the sale. We are able to travel out to sign bank application / paperwork etc and view properties (if Mark McGowan ever opens WA boarders up!) Thanks any advice would be welcome :) Apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't see anything to answer my question
