Looking for rental accomodation in Melbourne
Desperately looking for rental accommodation in Melbourne My family are moving to Melbourne in January but I hope to make the move earlier hopefully November to set things up for all of us.
I am having real trouble finding a short term let for 5 to 6 months
We are moving to the Hampton area an our youngest so will be attending school in Brighton so if anyone out there can HELP us I would be more than grateful
Regards Dell xxx

You could try looking on the following:
www.melbourne.gumtree.com.au/
www.melbourne.stays.com.au/
www.melbourneexchange.com.au/
Also some of the real estate sites such as www.realestate.com.au/ have rental properties.
If you have no luck with any of them give me a shout and I'll see what else I have...
Good luck

Good luck with it!

You will find it almost impossible to book accomodation in a rental for 6 months from the UK and to be honest I wouldn't do it until you have checked them out yourself.
Best bet is to book an hotel or an appartment for a few weeks & give yourself time to look at some of the rentals first before commiting to a six month lease.

Coming over in November is also the start of the busiest season. The reason they will not entertain you is if you muck them around they have lost potential renters during this busy time of the year.
It should not take too long to find suitable accomodation just ensure you have
Car
Mobile phone
Melways
Pre partially completed agent application forms
Copies all relevant references
There are a few people down near Brighton and Beaumaris infact someone on here has kids at Brighton school - just cant remember their name.
