sarab Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi How does the first time buyers grant work? Do you pay it back when/if you sell or do you pay rent on it like the ones in the Uk? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisme Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 HiHow does the first time buyers grant work? Do you pay it back when/if you sell or do you pay rent on it like the ones in the Uk? Thanks No you don't pay it back. It varies from state to state, I see your going to WA so here is the link to the WA grant page. http://www.finance.wa.gov.au/cms/content.aspx?id=344&linkidentifier=id&itemid=344 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Easy to apply for/obtain/no payback and can be counted as part of your deposit with some lenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarab Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Easy to apply for/obtain/no payback and can be counted as part of your deposit with some lenders Sounds great!! I have heard though it can be hard to get credit as you have no credit history in Oz so I guess buying a house is not something that can be done straight away?!

Guest guest17301 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I think as PR visa holders you can after a few months, its just the history of income/wageslips they want to see...depends on your bank and your circumstances. Westpac offered me a credit card after 1 months as I had a steady income. You want to rent for a few months anyway, get a feel for the areas, takes a while...dont rush into anything.

Guest Zlotikman Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Where are you looking? Hi Fiona Hope I could ask you the following Hope you could please clarify. My name is Zlotikman we are the family of 9. When you mentioned that you guys get the same numbers you did not refer to our size of family. Do you think a family of 9 can manage on 12000 net income per month.

sarab Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Where are you looking? We have been looking all over Fremantle, Subiaco, Victoria Park (this looks affordable but know nothing about the area) also Melville but know nothing about there either!!

Guest guest17301 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Those areas...you will have to spend a fair bit to get a decent rental. Get way more for your money further away from the City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest17301 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Subi and East Perth are nice, I don't look at it from a younger persons perspective sorry! Leederville is good, train system great so can live out of Perth and still have fun! The beachside/close to city burbs are nice too, but the property is completely different to further out. best of luck with your search, its all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fremantle is the most lively place in perth :eek:if you think that is quiet wait till you see the rest of perths nightlife. Try the Norfolk Hotel for a good drink and decent food.

Fremantle is pretty good for a night out. We would spend a lot more time out there but live too far away. Loads of restaurants, pubs, live music, nice atmosphere. When we go we always feel like we've had a nice day out. Couple of great breweries, Little Creatures and the Sail and Anchor, both have a great selection of beers.
