Hi!
We have got our skills visa and are due to arrive in Perth on 3rd October and we are going to be keeping and renting our house in England to begin with. We are undecided as to whether we should try to find a place to rent in Perth before we go or book into a b&b for a week and try to find rental accommodation once we are there. Has anyone got any advice?
Thanks.

what about a holiday park?

I have looked into this and its not that expensive, plus there are things to do for the kids.

Very wise about renting your house out in the UK rather than selling. We sold and came back to the UK, now have a mortgage double what we had in 2003!!

Trouble is with renting before you go is that if you are unsure of the areas/suburbs, then you could get somewhere that may not be suitable.

I would get a B&B or get a short term holiday type rental so you can look at suburbs when you get there.

Good luck

sell the bloody house!!! look at it now!! you want away from it!! think how youll feel when you come back (not home) to it and its all smug lookin at you like you failed!! it you go back youll want a fresh start!!

anyway!! you cant really rent till you view so unless you get somone else to do it for you you cant!!

Poms in Perth web site www.pomsinperth.com.au have houses for rent they also have a meet and greet service. I don't know how much they charge for the rental or the meet at airport service but it might be worth having a look at their web site.

Jenny,
The website quotes " $399 ". Must be a error on printed version.

Thanks anyway.
