Aussiebird Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Although we mentioned our future plans to our parents last year, I think it was April, we have today told them Visa was granted in February and our house is going up for sale tomorrow, so it's a relief to have that off our chest, we can now concentrate on our progress one step at a time.

Flossy82 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 If you want to sell your house then I’d get it on the market asap as apparently it’s having a little health boom (before the inevitable bust) as people needing to find a property are keen to move forward. I put my mum and dad’s old house on, and much to my huge surprise, it sold in 5 days, at a good price. It’s normal to have these wobbles when moving nearer to move date. I’m sure COVID makes it a little worse thoug. Good luck with everything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many properties are popping up on the market so probably great for buyers but with more to choose from, it's going to be tough, we will see the listing through till the end of the contract, if no buyer, then may re think and wait till next year, it's just pot luck i think if we sell during these difficult times. We may not have to quarantine if we sell next year if the WA border has reopened to international arrivals. There is hope I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flossy82 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Well all the best of luck for a buyer. Quarantine isn’t great, but I wouldn’t avoid coming in solely based in it. At least it’s only 14 days. It’s very unlikely the Australian borders will open before 2021 (though you can come in sooner if you have PR) and it wouldn’t overly surprise me if it was further into 2021. Also bear in mind that the WA government are taking an even stricter line on COVID and have point blank refused to open the state borders despite Scott Morrison’s requests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 It's tough this isn't it? We were supposed to move in August, house sale fell through and we are not on the market at the moment. Main concern is quitting a well paid job to move to a questionable economy. A house similar to hours round the corner went on the market last week, so will be interested to see how that goes. We have 3 years 4 months before the travel portion of my PR expires. It's the being in limbo which does your head in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just want to get going, once in Australia we can then take things as they come. I fear if staying in UK to see if things improve with the economy, housing market, and things do get really bad, then we risk staying for much longer and may never make the move, so its now or never so to speak!! The quarantine doesn't phase us as its what it is, at least we would be in Australia. Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day we are all taking a big chance (hopefully calculated) and we don't know what the future holds for us here in the UK or Australia. I think all you can do is do what feels right at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didnt even tell the agent they weren't coming and the agent can't get hold of them either! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we get out heads around going back on the market we might do it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
