Hi

Can't help just now as I'm still in the UK. I'm heading to Adelaide as well (need to sell house ) I've never been either

Have you looked on www.realestate.com.au to get an idea of what you can afford, suberbs etc.

Also try asking this on http://s2.invisionfree.com/Adelaidebrits/ as that site is dedicated to Adelaide.

Good luck with things

We've got a 136 skilled visa and are wanting to go NOW, but need to sell the house first. It's still early days, it's only been on the market a few weeks.

We have until November 14th to get there.

Hi,
We are going to head for Brighton, Oaklands Park or Hove.
All of the above are lovely, we were there for 2 weeks last October, everyone is so friendly!
Even the Native Crim's!
Hope this helps,

Rachel & Paul

We are in the same boat, had 1 person to view it, but nothing since. If it isnt sold by the time we go, then tough, we'll leave it on the market or rent it out with a view to buy and go, just means renting rather than buying when we get there.
Id rather sell it tho, anyone want a semi in Widnes?

Hiya

Yes, in Oaklands Park prob, but nothing decent in Brighton for that $$.

Remember when looking on Real Estate, most houses look fine for the $$, but when you go and see OMG! Photos are decieving..

Good luck, theres loads to chose from. We ended up in an area that we hadnt even considered
