Nope, as it'll be my only residence, so long as I sell within three years, and we're not buying in Oz...I've checked it all out....

My tenant is paying the rent 6 months up front, so I've paid the agent for that period too, so no worries financially, housey wise, til August, fingers crossed!

And you're obviously going to claim those expenses from your Oz tax as well which will help. Sounds like you're all sorted.

Bet you can't believe it's so soon now. Panicking yet?

Sounds like a plan, we should start a thread in the meet up section, pick a date, we can all get it in our diaries and something to look forward to.

The people who are already living there and loving it (or not) could come along and give us loads of tips and advice

Being welsh - there is also the joke that I need a passport to get out of Wales!

Done that an moved to Hampshire - surely only a little further to Oz?!
