Hi have you looked on the real estate websites, not sure which area in Perth you are wanting to live in but you'll get an idea of the prices :)

£100,000 is about $233,000 so you may be struggling to buy outright.

Possoms :)

from what we have seen you will really struggle to go mortage free.

Don't forget about buying white goods, car etc....... I assume that will be from the 100k also

We also have won the lottery :beer:
You wouldn't believe how much life as changed!

After seeking months of financial advice from various sources have decided against property investment, buying that Ferrari that i've always wanted, speedboat or even the holiday home in Krabi . ;)












However with the Ten pound win - im thinking of really splashing out and getting a couple of glasses of Tooheys. :beer:

Seriously though we are taking the money made off our house about £50000 and home that we can survive till we get jobs and the property markey in brisbane cools down. Hoping to rent a 2 bedroom home for no more than £400 a month. Don't know how realistic that is though!

No - you will need at least 750,000 stirling to make a go of it.

Stay at home.
