Guest HelenaBooth Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hello! We have our flights booked with Singapore Airlines in Sept.:arghh: We are looking at rentals for the first month in Brisbane, to book before we go also. Is Kangaroo Point a nice place to live?, or can anyone recomend a nice area which isnt too far from the main CBD as we wont have a car for a while.:huh: We want cheap but not somewhere which isnt great, we want to feel safe and also not too far away from everything, as we will need to look for jobs etc. Anything you can offer would be great. Thank you Helena & Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the post. We are really finding it hard to fnd a rental near the CBD which isnt student rental. which we are not students, we wanna cheap studio/one bed place so we can land and move straight in for a month or so then look to buy. We will also like to try for the first time buyers grant as OH is a citizen, but he's never been. Do you deal with private rentals? We wanna be in the centre of town to find jobs etc but not pay the earth. Thanks Helena:wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael skype: qfmike737 Hi. could you possibly help please? I have read on here that some people seem to have a problem being accepted as rental tenants because they dont have any references as owned a uk home. Is there anything we can obtain to help with this or is it just a landlord preference that they require good refs? thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KirstyM Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi. could you possibly help please? I have read on here that some people seem to have a problem being accepted as rental tenants because they dont have any references as owned a uk home. Is there anything we can obtain to help with this or is it just a landlord preference that they require good refs? thanx I obtained a rental without a problem when I arrived here on the Sunshine Coast. But despite having moved my business over with me and having 2 years of accounts to show them... I still had to pay a bigger chunk of my rent in advance. 2 months or so. I gave them bank statements showing 12 months of mortgage payments, proof of income, and a bank statement showing an incredibly healthy bank balance. I'm not sure how great things would have been if we'd not been able to give them a bit extra money as additional security! However, our realtor was extremely nice and I think he'd have helped us out a bit - he said he could see we were good tenants and definately wanted to place us.

Guest michael_byriel Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I know the problem you are having. The reality is that there are not ENOUGH rental places around. There are many good tenants that are local and have references. It is very simple and easy for the property managers to keep placing local people with good references in front of the queue. All too often when they see someone that is from outside of town ie UK they think it's all too difficult and find it much easier to place a local tenant in. The key to it is knowing someone that can vouch for you and having a minimum of 3 months rent paid in advance. I have a beautiful place right on the beach about 40 minutes from the Brisbane CBD that I've just sold and will be furnished for a tenant looking for a sea change. This property will probably rent for $AUD500 per week.
