Costs to move?
 

Hi all pls help, I have started my application process to move to aus and dont have no worries about being accepted as my occupation is on the in demand list, i have already got my skills recognition and just need to send main application.
looking to finally make the move in approx 2012, i will have an estimated £50000 pounds to move with, and this has to pay for moving costs flights and medicals- not applications. we will be selling our house here so will have nothing to move back too, we want to rent a property for the 1st 18months/2yrs in victoria and then buy something. The big question, will £50000 be enough?

Thanks

Darren

Hi Darren and welcome to B.E ;)
hears my costs so far

TRA application £300
Visa application £900
photo copys and delivery of applications £100
Medicals 2x adults 2x kids £700
Shippers £3200
insurance for shipping £100
flights £3049 :eek:
travel insurance £100
and as we are renting we have had to change our mortgage over to a lease to let which the price we have had to pay for changing it over cost us a nice little sum of £900 :mad:
so when you look at it all together it does cost quite a bit,

I would say that is a fair and quite do-able amount..

For mortgage info go on to Realestate.com.au and there are loads of adverts on there for mortgage companies and they have calculators... also you can (if you're like me) spend hours drooling over the pretty house's with pools!
