Default It's all official, we're coming

Visas have been approved and we're New Zealand bound on 17th Sept....yippee.

Struggling to find a house to rent though - found a couple we like the look of on Trade Me but we can't access the contact details as trade me won't let us have an account until we have a New Zealand IP address (tried to get round it using proxies but still can't get in) - anyone willing to get me some access details off trade me for a couple of landlords? or willing to send them a message on my behalf asking them to email me?

Help would be gratefully appreciated at this stage.

Best bet is too book into a motel for a week and look for a rental then. The pictures on trade me can be so deceptive you really need to view.Use trade me to get a shortnlist first. Use the forum to ask about the areas that the rentals are located. Where are you looking to settle

Southern suburbs of Wellington ideally - from Newtown to Owhiro Bay. Quite like the look of Brooklyn or Kingston at the moment.

Someone from my husband's new work is viewing houses on our behalf but obviously we can't get her to view ones we can't contact landlord about

It's annoying that we can't contact people on TradeMe isn't it! Hopefully someone here with an account will be able to help you out

I think the best thing is to get a short term solution and visit places you're interested in while you're there. Best of luck!

Thanks.

I've found this place in the centre of wellington that offers short-term accommodation at a reasonable price. might try there if we can't find a rental before we leave: http://www.viccentral.co.nz/

Hi Frog,

i am from Egypt and i have created an account on trademe and when i tried to log in my account been disabled, i contacted the support and i asked them to let me log in as i am a migrant and need to sort things up before traveling, they allowed me but without the permission to sell anything.

hope that will help

I contacted them and they said they couldn't do it as their software would automatically keep blocking me.....i might try again nearer the time though - thanks for the info.
