tina0101 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hi Now we have the visa we're all systems go to head to Australia. How would we go about getting a rental property? We'll be going out without jobs, which will obviously mean that until we secure employment, we'll have no income coming in. Would we be able to secure one based on our savings if we produce bank statements (will be fairly decent as selling house in UK for a hefty profit)? Holiday lettings are a lot more expensive p/w than renting, so we'd be eager to get into a rental asap. Thanks for any advice anyone can give!!

Yes you would need to show savings as evidence you can pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 A copy of a healthy bank balance normally works and always include a covering letter explaining your new to the country ,hence lack of Australian paperwork. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furkew Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The majority of new arrivals don't have jobs straight away, so you're not alone. As already mentioned proof of the funds should be sufficient. Short term holiday lets are not cheap, but from experience with both ourselves when we first arrived and new arrivals in our unit 3-4 weeks is a good time frame to be able to find something after researching areas and not hurrying to find a long term rental that you might regret later.

kayinperth Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 i saw a couple who just arrived from UK at a property viewing day (rent). The agent said there weren't any issue to rent the house if you pass the assess which is the same as locals, like your previous property references in UK. Because you are newly arrival, more likely you can get a rent with proving the finance situation as others said If you start finding a place to live, you should be better to consider the work place too ... some dodgy areas would be hard to get a job, transport troubles etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
