moving from UK to perth, if i do not have a good job to go to, will i receive state benefits?

admin — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:58:13 +0000

I am interested in moving from the UK, England to Perth, Australia. I do not have very good qualifications and am a Single mother with three children. I currently live in a council property. If I were to move to Perth would i receieve any state benefits and in terms of property’s is there such a thing as a somewhat council over there? I have friends and family in perth but none of whom will be able to provide financial support.

If you don’t have good qualifications, you won’t be moving to Australia and that’s that. Australia is very selective about the immigrants it accepts and the most basic requirement for them is to have formal qualifications and experience in an occupation in which Australia needs workers. No/low qualifications or wrong occupation = no immigration visa. End of story.

In any case, new immigrants are not eligible for any government income support for 2 years after they arrive in the country and they go to the back of huge waiting lists for government housing with no chance of being able to get the Australian equivalent of a council house in under several years.

Forget it – you won’t be coming.

how many property can i rent in perth?

can i rent more than one property in perth?

On the whole, when you rent you’re expected to live in the property; most won’t allow sub-letting.

So you could probably (if you could afford to) rent a few properties, but why would you?

where to obtain last transacted price of property in Perth Australia?

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:05:15 +0000

I need to obtain information on last transacted price over the last 12 months. Is there a website which provides such free service? Or there has to be a fee?

You can get some general information, such as median prices in a suburb for free.
If you want a property report you can get it on the realestate.com.au website for a fee.

Australian Visa information (cost and time etc…)?

admin — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 02:25:02 +0000

Hi guys.

Me and my girlfriend are looking into moving to Australia. We have lots of questions regarding the visa process & visa costs, locations to move to, looking for work, and moving pets.

OK, So we are both english born and bred. I am a welder (boilermaker) and my trade is on the SOL list. She works in an office as a debt collector. We are not married and have no children.

My main questions are…

1. What type of Visa would be best for us in terms of…how long the visa will take to grant us access, the best visa for us to stay in Australia, how much the visa application will cost, and what other costs there are (Medicles???)

2. Location, any body reading this would like to recommend any where?, i have family in Perth and Brisbane, My heart says Perth but i would love to live in Sydney. Any ideas on things to do, property costs, bills, costs, food, schools??? Any help on these subjects will be much appreciated. Also about renting/mortgages. If we do make the move we will be renting for quite sometime while we either build up a deposit or find a cheap enough house to buy with a small deposit. What are the costs of renting and is there anything we need to know (we would be looking for a place that allows pets, do land lords usually allow that?)

3. Work situation. Work is becoming few and far between in the uk right now and thats what has me looking into it (plus a change in life style). I have been looking on Seek.co.au and there looks to be plenty of work about in all regions and it looks to good to be true….so my question is, is it true? (lol) They look to be paying $25-$35 p/hr over 40 hours a week. How good is that and how far will that get us? And what type of work could my girlfriend find? She has previously worked as a debt collector, banker and worked in a real estates.

4. We are looking at bring over pets. A dalmatian and a cat. i have looked into costs, but i dont have much info on it, could people shed some light on this please?

AARRRRGGGGHHHHH my brain is fryd already! lol

Any help would be much appreacited guys!

1. Work Visa. It usually goes for a couple of years. The cost, hmm got to ask the immigration centre.

2.I live in Sydney, but it’s too expensive to live here, believe me, and especially for a new comer like you, you’d get busted by so much rent and bills.
Renting usually foes for 300-400 a week. See I told you it’s expensive. And no, landlords usually don’t allow pets in their units. But a house, yes.
Your best choice would be either in Victoria or Queensland. Don’t go to Perth, as it’s Western Australia and has a lot of Rural Areas and crime is high there.

3.The job of $25-$35 for 40 hours a week is okay, but not too good. Finding work is hard, but must you know, Australia is in deep need of more tradesmen, so your boiler job might just suit. Your gf could work in the real estate and a bank. Plenty of jobs for her.

4.Well bringing in pets is an issue. It has to go through quarantine to be checked of any foreign disease or illness or bugs it could bring in.

Phew, that was a lot.

how to become a real estate agent?

admin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:07:10 +0000

i am currently a uni student and living in perth australia and am very interested in hopefully entering the property market in the near future, how do i go about becoming a real estate agent? and how costly and long will this process take me?

many thanks

You will need sales experience, so try and get a job or work experience in retail or sales, ideally sales… and then you can work yourself up. Also a driving license will be useful too!

Estate agents also work on a commission and target-driven basis as well, so it would be preferred if you have a background which entails this.

I used to work in a mobile phone shop, where I was earning commission and we had sales targets too, just to give you an idea of where you could start.

Is there a webpage which gives a list of properties’ transacted prices of a particular project in Perth?

I would like to track last transacted of apartments in Hay Street Perth. Is there a webpage which shows last transacted prices over the last 24 months?

Yes you can use a service such as RP Data or Residex which has listings of almost all sales in Australia. If you want to try to get it for free then you might be able to find it by googling the address or looking it up on realestate.com.au

where can i shoot in Western australia?

admin — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 16:48:13 +0000

can someone tell me where i can shoot in Western australia i need more property preferably it most 2 hours outside of perth thanks…

I am in Vic and over here generally we can shoot in state forests , but there are some exceptions and it is necessary for us to check with DSE …Department of Sustainability and Environment , if we are not sure about a certain forest. Otherwise if a person is a member of the Sporting Shooters Association they have access to private land that allows members to shoot. Click on their link below for more info.

http://www.ssaa.org.au/

The other alternative is to ask other shooters where they shoot or go to the gun shop and ask them.
I suggest that you approach your local DSE office (or whatever you have there) as a first step as our guys put out a neat booklet with lots of shooting info for Vic and your guys might do the same.
