I would say that's right, Pinkie. Thanks for that.
Jano, you must be so excited and nervous, good luck, hopefully we won't be too far behind you..... Had my friend over this afternoon, her son moved to NZ three years ago and got married there in December. All the family went and she has fallen in love with NZ too. Just makes me feel more ready to go when I listen to her talk about what it's like. Hope OH's company get back in touch soon!

We were going to submit EOI, we estimate 110/115 points, but were waiting to see if he could transfer as would get more points. Hope the scoring doesn't go up before we get an answer incase it's no....agh!

Will also be able to get a mortgage for a reasonable decent place to live. In the uk i can only get a mortgage for about 75K-100K not many places around here to buy for that amount. In NZ can get a mortgage for 150K NZD which will buy a decent place, so i think it will be all better than here

Hello
Be careful, $150,000 doesn't buy a great deal, particularly not Wellington.
