Hi"

Just wondering if any of you have taken over a Uk purchased, built in oven (electric) and hob, to Oz? and if so any problems with connection/use etc. (We know any UK warranty would be void).

The ones we like are very expensive over there, so we thought to take them with us as can get much cheaper deal over here.

any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I see you're off to Peregian. when do you go, we arrive on the 27th Nov and have booked temp accom in peregian beach.. ??

No idea about the appliances but you 2 will be glad to hear the weather has now improved over here. Last week we had heavy rain for a constant 4 days.

Blue skies, no clouds and nice and warm today :-)

yep and we move outa here next Friday, after 2 years of waiting to sell our home here and a house we bought there sitting waiting for us!!
Pickfords arrive next Tuesday (dreading it!!) very stressed, and
then 2 weeks with Mo in law till we can hopefully get a flight to the SUNSHINE yippEE!!! keep that sun shining for us... (it was 7 degrees here and frost last night brrrr!!)

Sounds like a lot of hassle to me? Unless you've bought your own home already and have given the dimensions of the oven/hob to the builder so he can fit it in the kitchen?! But I thought that most houses came with a fitted oven/hob anyway. Personally I wouldn't bother... there's enough stuff to sort out when you get here without worrying about your oven/hob... just buy a barbie!!!

yep thats what I told HIM...!
we have a house bought while ago, and the kitchen needs total refit (he's a joiner yippee! ) thats why we were asking

thanks for everyones input - we're gonna buy over there now, too frightened of being hammered with tax if they inspect our container.
