Guest Jadeanna Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi All, Myself and my Husband both 32, no children, from Dublin are hoping to head to Perth ASAP!!! I have been offered an intra company transfer from our Dublin to our Perth branch. I work in a Freight Forwarding Company. My husband was a self employed plasterer, but had to cease trading in January 11 due to lack of work!!. He is now working in telecommunications just to help make ends meet. My company have been approved as a SBS and are submitting the nomination part this week. Fingers crossed it doesn't take too long. Would love to be in Perth before the end of the year. Is anyone planning on selling their houses or renting them out? We have some prospective renters coming to view our house this Friday. But obviously we won't sign anything until the visa is granted. I have relations in Perth and my aunty own's an Irish pub :@) Good luck everyone x:happy_face_sticking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crosby Family Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi Everyone, after looking at previous threads regarding renting out your home, has anyone contacted there morgage company to say they are renting out their house and leaving the country? some say not to say anything but thats in england does anyone no what we should do ? or what has everyone else done.Any info would be great M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jadeanna Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi Crosby family. With the interest rates going up and at the current rental rate in this country we will have to send back money to cover our mortgage. I am organising a meeting with our lender to tell them we are leaving the Country to set up a new life and that we will be renting the house out. We are going to tell our lender how much rent we are likely to get on the house and ask if they can adjust our mortgage to match it. Either extend the term or change to interest only or put us on a fixed rate. At the end of the day we could just up and leave and post the keys back to them. But this is not the path we want to go down. I think the banks would rather adjust a mortgage then foreclose on it. Without getting myself into trouble I am going to try and play hardball with them and see what happens. I don't think you have any obligation to tell your lender you are leaving and renting your house. As long as they are getting the monthly repayment. You can rent your house out to the Council and sign a lease with them for 10/20 years. They will look after the maintanance and manage the property. And, it's gauranteed rent into your account, even if the tenants move out and they have to find new tenents. You just have to apply with your local Council and if they are looking for rental's in your area they will give you the forms. If you log on to citizens advise websit they have a contact for free financial advisors. I have already sent them an email. Best of luck to you.

Guest MM79 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hey will ya let me know how ya get on with your lenders. We will be renting out our place and are afraid to let them know. But like that, there will be a shortfall in the rent so would love to know what they say. They should accommodate ya though, like you said you could drop them in the keys and run...

Guest Crosby Family Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi Jadeanna, Thanks for you quick reply, we are still unsure what to do as we have a tracker mortgage. Like you we will have to send money back to top up our repayments. We have a couple we know who is anxious to rent our house for long term as they know they wont get a mortgage, so thats great for us.Let me know how you get on with your lender. When you planning your move to OZ? were you gonna settle ? We are hoping to move in November . Thanks M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MM79 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi Derek, My husband is a plumber, we applied for 176 WA in June. Not all going to leave together as the kids are too small to drag along. Kevin is going over on his own to get a job and a house and all. They seem to be processing the visas fairly fast tho. Can't wait to get out of here. I went in Sydney in 2004 and met Kevin in 2005, we came home then in 06, don't ask me why....!! But at least now we're not over there wondering what it's like to live at home. Where did you say you were migrating to? How long did it take to get the police checks from oz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have house to sell - gave back to bank few months ago, so we've nothing left here. Any advise re amount for family of 5 greatly appreciated. Hi Kaz11, are you with an agent? We had one consultation with Liz O'Hagan, (regiestered with MARA) She gave us all the details we needed to seek our visa solo, which we have done from the start, from Boots getting assessed by Victoria Uni, State Sponsorship and then lodging for visa online. (these were our only expenses $3500 roughly) The only thing we are waiting on is our medicals (€740) which are being done in Mater on 21st July, everything else has met their requirements. pm if you need any info Becks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
