Hi guys, myself (25) and my partner (27) are just about to make the move to Perth from Edinburgh, Scotland. Could you give us any insight in to things we need to know before moving like TFN numbers and locations of good property areas? We are currently trying to secure viewings for properties in Subiaco and East/West Perth. We need to get a property secured asap as we have booked a hotel for 3 nights until we sort out better accommodation but as it gets closer to the date we leave we are realising that we might need longer to find a rental property and secure it. Would you recommend anyone that is on air b&b or has a room to let? Thanks and hopefully we can talk soon

Thats perfect great thank you for your help. Really appreciate your insight into locations to look at in Perth. We have been emailing different rental property agents so hopefully going to set up a few viewings as soon as we get there. Any other advice or recommendations in to places to be, see and do in Perth then please advise. Thanks so much for all your help.

Thank you for the advice very stormy, will look into stayz.com.au realestate.com.au is where we have been looking at so far and have emailed a lot of realtors for viewing appointments within East Perth, West Perth, Subiaco areas for apartments and we have filtered 'furnished' properties only. Looked at some other suburbs and various areas within 30 min drive of Perth but we both need more local knowledge and recommendations as we have discovered some beautiful new houses within our budget for the same price as the apartments. If you know of any areas/suburbs to pin point that would be fantastic...? Yeah I've read that companies have been laying off a lot of Oil & Gas workers in Perth recently unfortunately. Tough times in O&G globally in certain sectors. I'm going into my new job with open eyes and we both have an understanding that could easily happen to myself. Yeah my job is on SOL and CSOL, which is fantastic so i'm going to try and push for that at the earliest of opportunities if all goes smoothly and to plan.

Hi, My partner and I are moving to Perth in less than 2 weeks and are looking at rental accommodation in the surrounding areas within a 30 minute drive of Perth CBD. Any advice would be highly appreciated!! We are mid twenties and moving over on a 417 working holiday visa. I work in Oil & Gas industry in Inspection and hoping to get as much work as I can and hopefully get sponsored to stay longer. Whats the formalities of securing a rental property within Perth? We have references from the UK and the bond (deposit) set aside for a place we like. We are looking at an initial 6 month rental. Budget for rental property is in the $500 - $600 per week range and require at least 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and car parking whether it be a house or apartment. Any recommendations of areas/suburbs to look at or any realtors we could get in touch with would be highly appreciated. Many thanks, Rory & Lisa
