Re: The way forward for grandparent?

I was so excited to read this. Imminent move to NZ (husband is Kiwi) and leaving my mum is my biggest worry. However I noticed the criteria says you can't have another adult child in the same...

Re: It’s happening - reporting mid-move

Oh my gosh I've been wondering how your move is going. This sounds utterly exhausting, I imagine ours will be the same.

Re: Auckland house prices

Again we're in exactly the same boat! Did our place up to sell not rent. We had one ridiculous offer of 100k under the asking price. We're in South East London. Anecdotely I've hard activity has...
