Hi Patrick. Many thanks for the additional pictures. After a few days of emailing various storage company's to try and get the cost down, I am going to have to pass the monthly cost is fine however the cost of collection is the one that prices me out. As cheapest I can get is $450. So the with the monthly storage looking at $1000 on top of your price. Sorry. Otherwise would of taken this as would of been ideal. Good luck on getting rid. Thanks again. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

Hi loulou, from what I know the company I am joining are very active on welding placements, so should be a role that suits them and therefore me quite well. Please feel free to send me your hubby's cv. Hi Nina, thanks for your post. The office is mostly blue collar, however do have existing clients that use for all types of roles, it would be unfair of me to say no at this stage, I am due to start early June so plenty of time before your July date, so should have something a bit more solid back to you in plenty of time for your arrival. Feel free to send me any PM and will send you my email. Hope to hear from you both soon.

Hi Patrick, thanks for the reply and the additional pictures provided. I am still very keen. I will drop the storage company an email just to get an idea on costings. I am away this week with the kids as easter half term so struggling for a Skype call, as in a static caravan in North Wales, accessing email is fine. Any chance of a pic of the bed and coffee table. The rest is fine. If you can give me a day or so to email the storage company. Also an idea on sending you the funds from the UK. Thanks Neil.

Hi Jen, not a problem the company I am joining specialise in Blue collar work, so engineers, welders, and logistics is there specialist areas. They have loads of current clients to market your hubby's cv too. Feel free to send me a private message for the cv. Thanks loads to do. Hope your enjoying your weekend.

Hi Patrick, I am certainly interested however don't arrive until June, do you have any pics, also any suggestions on short term storage until June? Thanks .

Hi All, sorry been a busy couple of days. Thanks for all your reply 's. Jen78 I am Crewe based so not a million miles from your good self. Thanks for the locations I will have a look at the areas you listed. I am trying to keep my commute to 20-25 mins. The office is opposite the zoo. Thanks for the well wishes. If your hubby needs any assistance on a role please let me know. Duffield towers - thanks for your reply, looks like you have claimed the ladder since your arrival congrats, love the pics of the property build, I bet you can't wait to get moved in. QUESTION - would you have made a purchase while under the 457? Also intrigued by the brother in law comment, if you fancy a beer when I land for the detail on that, but also would love to learn about the purchase of land and develop your own bespoke house. Looks a venture well up my street . Rosemoyne - thanks and will do my best Take care peeps.

Hi Duffieldtowers, sorry but could not see you proper name lol. Thanks for your comment. Macc only a short way away from me in Nantwich. I like your position of going backwards to come forward, similar to me, as a company director for the one of the UK's largest Industrial Recruiters, won't name drop at this point. Taking a role as a BM with scope of that developing into a director role within 2 years does not phase me, also allows me to climatise so to speak to the new marketplace etc. Also enjoy myself with little expectation that i know i can deliver against in the early days. Well done on your climb to greatness in the time you have been over there. I will have a look at DDLS later if you dont mind, if anything helps get familiar with other business operating. Also had a quick link at your property project looks mint, i bet you can't wait to get yourself into it and start enjoying the fruit of your hard labour. Question - would you of brought a house while under under the 457 visa? If you fancy a beer in July let me know, as intrigued on the brother in law story and also the project of building your own house and the challenges and pit falls involved in such a massive project. Thanks again

Hi verystormy, a big thanks for taking the time to reply further with the details. All seem very valid points and thankfully have read each through the forum prior so no unpleasant surprises like the school fees. I am comfortable with the temporary status myself as its a trial for both party's before any commitments are made. We ourselves are looking at this as a 4 year assignment and see how it goes before a PR would interest me. As as for the risk of loosing my job while on the visa it might happen as its obviously a risk but resting on its never happened to me before and always working in a sales based role you are as good as your own individual performance and when your making your employer lots of new money they have not seen before I find this creates security as well as further opportunitys, the flip side being that if I underperform then I would expect to be let go. It's the natural way of working life. Kids are young, one 8 year old and one 1 year old so the university days are a little off however already fearing the day they say dad I want to go to Uni. Lol. Good news on the school fees the employer has agreed to pay the first 6 months, until my earnings are boosted with there commission structure. What a great guy I could not ask for much more. He can not do enough for me. I really appreciate your input as I admire the reality picture of things ahead over the everything Rosie picture however also love facing upto challenges and coming out the other side in a winning position. I was a born fighter lol. Looking forward to anyone's feedback on the above and welcome any additional input. Big smile on on face now and can't wait to see you the other side.

Morning All, thanks for the early replies, Thanks Ali, for the steer, employer has asked to speak to me today on the subject so initial cost will be the conversation from me. Hi, LouLou more then happy to assist you and the family and everyone else to that matter, will keep active on the forum and offer you an update once sat behind my new desk. VeryStormy, feel free to elaborate on the other areas of concern on the 457, as i initially said, i am getting my head around these by the day but your experience on these much appreciated. Thanks again everyone.

Hi All, my names Neil currently sat in Cheshire reading thorough the forum on here, attempting to build my knowledge. After reading so many informative posts on a variety of subjects, thought it only polite to post a hello. I am on a 8 week countdown on my move to Perth. 1st June all being well with visa being confirmed in time. Coming over on a 457 sponsored visa with a job in place as a Manager of a recruitment firm, working out of South Perth. Its been a fairly quick decision for us, and the info provided via all your posts has helped build a foundation knowledge over a short period of time. The family will be joining me end of July once the school term is up. I am likely to use the time from me getting there, to sort a rental and all the other comforts the family will need upon there arrival. My initial fears were living costs and settling UK standing orders of on loans and other things to simplify our outgoings. Location wise for the rental we will be looking South Perth, so areas such as Coogee, Success have been recommended by my employer however keen on Fremantle myself, so any tips on this much appreciated. I want to build some connections via the site to ease the first few months and get myself social as looking forward to meeting new people and learning new things from all of you. Every day is a school day it appears just learnt tonight that 4K school fees apply due to the type of visa i am on, so dropped the new employer an email with the question of can they built this into the relocation package...dont fancy my odds but as my old dear used to say, if you dont ask etc. Will update you on his reply tomorrow for anyone interested. Anyway pleased to make the introduction, don't feel like a peeper now if nothing else. Thanks peeps. Regards Neil.
