Hi Rooksie, was wondering same thing myself few days ago. Dont know whether to wait til we get the visa, or put house on market as soon as we've finished painting.

If we dont get visa, moving house anyway, so not sure what to do. But dont want to be in rented, cos it costs about £800-900 to rent somewhere round here, couldnt afford that for too many months!

Where the medical forms any help?

As soon as you apply for our visa!!!!!
We are now in Oz having to pay our mortgage in the UK and rent over here! We did sell our house but it fell through 9 days before we left. My advice is sell and go into rented (never thought I'd advise anyone to do that before) if needed as at least you don't have the added stress of trying to sell your house and desperate to start living your dream

Trouble is we have two dogs and most rentals won't allow animals.
