mortgages
My wife and I are hoping to apply for our PR visa early next year. By then I’ll have the four years experience the ACS need to asses my skills.
We’d love to go to Brisbane, I’ve had a look at some of the real estate sites but was just wondering how much we’d need to earn to afford a house around $300k. Also how does the mortgage system work, is it similar to the UK system? Would one of us have to be in permanent employment for a certain length of time before they lend us the cash.
Cheers

This website will give you an idea of how much you can borrow based on income figures that you enter.

The amount of deposit you have will be a Big infuencing factor.
Good luck
