You probably couldn't afford it

Is it still the same as in 2001?

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

Depending where you are going to live will determine the price of your house.
Young people are finding it difficult, but where I live there are still some bargins to be had but only just and the houses aren't brick. My son bought a house here for $200,000 it is a small high set but set on 750sq m.The house still needs a few things doing to it to smarten it up. My son wouldnt have got this house without our help ,the costs alone in buying were far more than the uk so all the money he saved went on that we helped with the rest ,One of the biggest advantages of buying your first home here is the first homebuyers grant of $7.000 which he really did need and is a great help,They should consider something like that in Britain now.

Crime happens everywhere Australia is no exception. I was burgled in the first 4 months and we have since got our own house but my next door neighbour has had a lot of problems with Aboriginals, maybe you won't be living in that kind of area ,it seriously is something to consider.My neighbours are new and they are a young couple and the girl is upset by them trying to steal from under the house(they caught them) and then hassle her for money for booze.
Crime doesn't seem to be much different and I worry silly about my youngest and hes 18.

I hope when you move that you pick some where carefully and that it most definitely works out for you, but the place isn't perfect.Good Luck

You pay for uni over here too it isn't free.I don't expect it to be.We pay some he works to keep himself.

wheres the poles, lativians and all the other chancers on those statistics, not to metion the hundreds that are in bolton illegaly

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

here we go again! lol. same thread differant title:)

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

Quite right it will not get you much.Tad under $400,000 just will get ahouse still and most of the time not brick.

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

I would be careful what you say !! I am certainly not a loser and resent the implication. Anyway each to his own. I'm happy with my choices and hope you are with your chosen path in life.

Personally I think the whole argument is starting to get too personal and with that I am staying out of it !!

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

Much the same yes. 10% ethnic minority.

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

hundreds of illegals eh?
given that Bolton's population is around 140,000 you're talking about about 0.6% of the poulation at most. How awful for you.

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

No I was there not long ago honestly, :rolleyes: they need to watch where they live here too, plenty of youth problems .

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

Soon you'll be a foreigner in someone else's country, so it evens itself out.

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

I guess you won't count yourself as a chancer in Oz- but will they see you as "the Brits, Chinese and other chancers". Or are you somehow different?

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

Don't be silly....only foreigners are 'foreigners'.

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

y do people even quote statistics from the UK govt? tony blair admitted to the whole country that nobody has any idea how many illegal immigrants were in the UK. once the illegals get into the EU they just disappear and really could be anywhere. every day there is a new tax or a new law being implemented to screw over the taxpayer. just today, there are increasing air passenger tax, then they are trying to make people buy a special device that tracks how many miles you drive to tax you on it (pay as you drive). england is depressing me, i really have to get out of here.

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
 

Yes that is depressing. I haven't read that story yet,but I will. I know many people in Canada most really like it. I hope you do too. All the best.:)
