House Buying On Temp Visa
We are going for this new state nominated 3 year temp visa as its the only way we can get it.
Will we be able to buy a house if we are on a temp visa?

Yes you can, but you need to get FIRB approval.
I posted this in another thread you started (http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...hreadid=237370), but here is the information again.

We came over on a 457IE, which is a temp visa and had no problems buying a property. The conditions for a temp visa are that it has to be valid for longer than 12 months to buy a second-hand property.
All the information is on the FIRB site.

We too came on a Temp visa 457, and have just got a mortgage with The Commonwealth Bank, but went through Wizard Home Loans.
