Relocating to Sydney
I have been offered employment in Botany, Sydney and I am moving my wife and child out there in approx 6 weeks time. I am being sponsered by the company, does anyone know of any affordable family friendly areas to buy a house? Ideally, we would like to be on the outskirts of Sydney anywhere up to 50km away from Botany. Will there be any problems getting a mortgage as I am a UK citizen working in Australia? I would also appreciate any other helpful information anyone has to offer about relocating.

first of all welcome to BE.
I'm in the process of applying for a visa, so I won't be able to help, but you might be better off posting in the Australia forum. In the barbie you come across all different types of low lifes (like myself
)I don't think mortgages are a problem provided you have an income, but others out there will have more experience than me.
Have fun in oz (and on BE as well)
