Guest mackemsok Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi Demik, We are planning to come over end of June 09. We will need 3 bed house to rent for 6 months whilst we look for some land to build on. We prefer to build rather than buy and I have been doing me homework and there are loads of builders who can build for around $130,000 with land being around $200,000 - am I right? What are your friends rental properties per week and do they allow pets? Thanks for you help Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your friends rental properties per week and do they allow pets? Thanks for you help Sharon There is a house with 4 bedrooms but the house is not large, it is about 200sq metres and in the Butler region, the address is 5 Brohard Street, Butler, WA, 6030 (view online at Australian travel maps, street directory, driving directions & aerial photographs - Whereis.com) the rental per week is $480. You could buy a property for no less than about $250,000 and building costs always excludes finishes (painter, plumber, electrician, carpenter, tiler, blinds/carpets, garden etc.) Should you wish to rent when you do arrive we offer airport pick-up and starter pack with a day to familiarise you with your surroundings. Thank you DemiK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mackemsok Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Thanks for that - we will bare you in mind, all help is appreciated. This is such a daunting move - but exiting at the same time. This house sounds fine - but as we are not coming over till next June we will have to see if it is still vacant at that time. Cheers - Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SunnyWA Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hi Demik Are you doimng this as a business? $480.00 per week seems quite expensive for a house in Butler ? Is that unfurnished or furnished? and Does it have Aircon and a pool? Thanks Sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DemiK Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hi DemikAre you doimng this as a business? $480.00 per week seems quite expensive for a house in Butler ? Is that unfurnished or furnished? and Does it have Aircon and a pool? Thanks Sunny No, not doing it as a business! A couple of friends of mine as I mentioned no agents fees and no catch so there is nothing in it for me... $450-$480per week gives you a 300sqm home with aircon/heat, porcelain tiles, built-in cupboards (which they dont do here usually) theatre room, living room, dining room, study area, chefs kitchen including an oven with pantry, linen closet, laundry room, main bedroom is en-suite with spa bath shower and toilet, three other b/r have large bathroom too, double garage, cosy garden with reticulation, with el-fresco area for bbq-ing.... Most homes in Butler are 3x2 without built in cupboards and no aircon/heat or a chefs kitchen or reticulation etc - So one has to compare apples to apples. There are 4 homes available in Canningvale too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pinhead Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 If you are buying or renting you don't pay commissions, the seller or lessor pays them. Give the guy a break he's obviously just trying to help out some friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DemiK Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks Pinhead, I myself am an expat from South Africa and did have friends helping me out when I came here. Unfortunately you get ppl that come and dont know anyone and that is quite daunting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi You will need a shoet term furnished let there are sites that do them we used holidaylettings.co.uk. To rent in oz you have to physically view the place at a viewing usually 30 mins and every interested party goes you give your details and the leassor picks. If you get a short term hol let you can then get a reference off the landlord and an aussie reference is worth 100 uk refs . Not much beach near hendo , Coogee is nice but expensive hope this can help Malx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers joe Hi Land sales generally start about $200000 for 300 sq metre blocks they are called cottage blocks as you det a 3 or 4 x2 and a small alfresco area (garden). Look on real estate ,com. Areas near to the coast command dearer price s near us we are renting at Smerly nor, at Burns beach a new developement a 500 to 500 block at the top end the most inland about 700 yards the prices are about $500000 + blocks next to the coast on the same dev are $1 million + . Perth news online a bit on Dalyellup in the south west 200 metre blocks were being sold for 170 + Depends where you want to be but I guess you prob be looking at 280 300 k for a plot in most areas Malx aka Billy !M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dougie32 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 thanks for your help, it looks like we will be heading south , hopefully be able to sell our house by then but its not looking good in the current climate, i will look on real estate as advised cheers joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be a family of 6 when we arrive. Cheers joe Hi Joe Nice to hear from you - where are you from in the UK? We are looking at Rockingham mainly because we have a friend who lives there and she loves it. We have another friend who has a property in Wannaup (not sure if the spelling is right) and he had his house built - it only cost him $350,000 for the land and the house, however the house prices have gone up loads since then. He has kindly offered this house to us for a rekki - which we hope to do next April (although me an my hubby are argueing about this already!). We have never been to Oz which friends and family find bizzare that we want to live there - but we are sick of this Country taxes / crime / standard of living ........ the list is quite long. I have not got rose tinted glasses and fully understand Oz is far from paradise - but what attracts us is the outdoors lifestyle and the standard of life that we can achieve out there. Schools are very important as our youngest is 12 and we need to get her settled into a good school. We have looked at some private schools - we are not flash - but the cost of the private education is much cheaper than here in the UK (around £2,500 per year against similar fees per term here). We are posting our TRA at the end of this week and the application form for the school we have chosen (waiting lists are long at this school) so it all will seem more real. We are also putting our house up for sale NOW, after reading some of the horror stories of people on here who can't sell - we decided to sell now and rent for 3 reasons, we will save around £600 per month by renting against mortgage / property market is crappy and I feel it will get worse and I dont want to be stuck here / I will have the equity in the bank sooner. Sorry to bleet on - just felt the need to tell someone where I am at Keep in touch and let me know how you get on Regards Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorrisons Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi all you ppl coming to WA !! I have a few friends who have homes in the North and South Suburbs on rental or buying basis...

We are expats in Perth who have been here for a while and will put you in touch with the right ppl, whatever your queries are DemiK Thank you for posting help. We are moving to Perth in March 2009 and would love to rent somewhere unfurnished straight away as we will have our chocolate labrador dog with us and I guess renting furnished with an animal is even more difficult, hopefully organise shipping to arrive in Perth at the same time as we do. Please can I get in touch with you nearer the time and see if you have anything available. We are going to activate our visas hopefully in November so maybe could meet up with you. So scared I am going to be lonely with 2 year old, and would love to make friends before we go. Looking at Kinross, Butler, anywhere north of Perth really. Thank you again, Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
