Re: In a quandary - UK or OZ
Hi Helen
Glad you started this thread, I thought it was just me looking for excuses but really knowing that I am now bricking it after nearly 3 years in the waiting, having visa for 2 years and selling house since last august. We are due to exchange contracts in 2 - 3 weeks and I and my other half are starting to get into a slight state of panic. Havnt sorted anything and am not going to until exchange, just dont want to mess up anyones lives and having renovated a house to a very good standard we are scared we may never get the same again, never mind the exchange rate. Dropped the house 75K in the end, I think we all must be bonkers!
Good luck all.
Mick

Oooh, good luck, Mick. Really hope it all works out for you both.
Olivia, don't really want to think about saying goodbye to my Mum and Dad Just really hoping that they would come out on a regular basis (another good reason to have a decent amount of money - to buy a house big enough for them to stay for a good while!)

Just to note that leaving it longer may well reduce the points required to migrate due to age....just a thought.
