TheBellMan Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hopefully there's someone out there who can give us some guidance. We'll be landing in Melbourne around 3rd Sept and start work on Thursday 13th Sept. We're a family of 4 (2 teenage kids) and I'm struggling to sort out initial accommodation for when we arrive. The agents don't seem to be interested unless we can attend for a viewing. What did other expats do on arrival and how long does it usually take to sort out a rental? Obviously we only have 2 weeks before we start work and would like to have an 'address' by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furkew Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi Bellman. Agents arent interested, and personally you will have a bit of a shock when you view some rentals. They often look 10 times better in the pictures than in real life. I have sent you a PM regarding our accomodation, but you didnt state where you are looking, and Melbourne is a big sprawling city, so we might be on the wrong side. have you also looked at: http://www.moving-to-melbourne.co.uk/melbourne-rental-accommodation.htm http://www.stayz.com.au I think personally 2 weeks wont be enough time to find a rental and get moved in. A 3-4 week window is often more comfortable to get everything organized without rushing into things too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
