Oh no, worried about expensive housing in Australia!
Oh no, I am in doubt now!
Why did I want to go to a place where it is more expensive than US or Britain?

Dr Oliver said Australian house prices were among the most expensive in the world in terms of relative household income and wealth levels. A house in Australia costs more than twice as much in terms of average household income than a US house does, and 36 per cent more than a British house.

Re: Oh no, worried about expensive housing in Australia!
I think you must take it in context. As UK citizens going to Oz we are priveleged to have (hopefuly) capital from our UK house sales to fund a good home in Oz. I personally know that for the same price as my end terrace i can afford a 4 bed, 2 bath home with a pool in one of the better suburbs of Perth (approx 200-$300,000).
As for what standard f living we have- that reamins to be seen- but if you have little to no mortgage, you have a lot more money for other things.
Go on proprty websites such a REIWA and compare the standard and size of accomodation that you get for your money.
I guess it really depends where you are coming from. If you have a 4 bed terrace in Salford, you may find Oz pricey, but if you are from London for example you will be in for a hell of a nice surprise.
Cheers
