So Perth it is then - accommodation advice?
Hi everyone!
Just looking for some advice on rental accommodation in Perth - how quickly can you find a suitable property and move in? My daughter and I arrive mid-July, we'll be staying in holiday accommodation for at least 2 weeks but I hope to find a suitable property before then. All advice appreciated! Jules |

Jules I can only suggest you check out some of the bigger real estate places when you get here eg; lj hooker, ray white, roy weston, century 21, they all have websites too. Also maybe take a look at: www.realestate.com.au or www.domain.com.au Good luck mate :thumbup: |

Jules what would possibly sway it in your favour is offer to pay 3 months rental upfront aswell as bond etc try get references off estate agents if sold house ,other people etc all depends on finances of course ,personal suituation hope this helps abit |

Re: So Perth it is then - accommodation advice?
we rented last year and it took about four weeks to find what we wanted but we did want a pool, we were told it is easier to find a rental in their winter months as not as many people move over winter time. we rented through harbour real estate.

Thanks everyone. There seem to be loads of properties in the search criteria I'm after, but will keep in mind the news.

Jules You really need to be here to find somewhere but browsing the web will give you an idea what price is fair / what areas etc. Do you have the funds to offer a few months rent up front - that helps as does being a professional etc. Can you get a third week to give yourself some leeway? |
Re: So Perth it is then - accommodation advice?
alot of people out there offer 6 months rent up front, thats what we did and the landlord accepted this and we had no problems, they do check your property after 6 weeks and if you have stained the carpet or anything they ask you to get it cleaned etc then cpme back a week or two later to check, they are quite particular over there with rental properties if through an agent.

Bear in mind that real estate agencies are not the quickest at taking no longer available properties off their sites. I don't know just how legal it is to offer more than 4 weeks rent in advance +bond as this sort of practice would lock out many Australians from maybe being on an equal playing field. I know there have been properties that have attracted 100 or more applicants and that some 'bidding' has gone on over the amount asked for in rent. My understanding is that this is illegal and that the gov are looking into it.
