Hi all,

I'm looking at moving to Perth in October - I'm just waiting on my permanent residency VISA.
I plan to rent my UK home out until the market improves and just wanted to know if any expats have done the same and could offer any advice. In particular if anyone can suggest a good bank account for moving money from the UK and back it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

John

we don't rent but get a pension, its paid into the UK bank acct and then transferred over with Ozforex or a similar company.

First Direct in the UK (part of HSBC)
HSBC in Australia - GBP10 per transaction, regardless of the amount.

If you are just withdrawing your rent money, use the hole in the wall to take it from your UK bank account, and say nowt.
