derham Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Now that I am in OZ I watch WDU without the rose tinted glasses. They show the most amazing houses at totally unrealistic prices. The first family reckoned they would be £2000 a month better off -YES because they both worked full time and she didnt work in UK. There was no mention of child care for little ones which is very expensive. Im now convinced the whole series is a propaganda machine to recruit clueless Brits to Oz. And yes I fell for it! But would you move back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derham Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 We've been looking at the developments mentioned and those prices seem to match even now with the land/build package deals available.For example http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-banksia+grove-109020466?listingType=buy a 3+2 @ $293,400 I think we may build ourselves though and save another 25-40% on the developer prices or get a larger lot and pool. Self built in the UK in 2007 so not too daunting ! I've been contenplating building my own as well but I haven't managed to find out details of suppliers etc etc, has anyone done this before?

derham Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yup, should have said we are heading for Perth so I know I would have to register with WA as an owner builder (not as a pro builder). The gas and electric requirements are nothing new but plumbing is (not sure why, it's not like it could kill anyone !). Back to the developer land and build packages it's surprising what you can get included. I've found a brand new 4+2 for $378,000 which only needs the back yard doing ! Anyway back to the program, like the subtle change to the format but if they spent a few less seconds twirling the flags they could include more info. Always skip past the message from home bit as we know it will be hard to leave family and friends and that is just part and parcel of it all, we get it ! Looking forward to the next one ...................:wink: I've found loads around the $420,000 mark (4 +2 with study/games room) that include floor coverings, decoration, full AC and even blinds just not sure about the areas.

Chardy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I still struggle with your accent mate.....................if you mean what is it in pounds, then $378,000 is about £250k and $420k is about £277k. I guess it all depends on your deposit, available mortgage funds releative to your income as to what you can afford ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Enjoyed today's ep - apart from sky box cutting out half of it. I was a bit disappointed as I read it was Brisbane and then it was more Gold Coast area. I am still yet to see one on Brisbane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
