Guest Angp1 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 We are not emigrating just a posting for max 4 years. Are furnished houses easy to come by thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 No they aren't unless they are holiday lets which are hugely expensive. If you are on an expat deal then the company should be forking out for shipping there and back, bring your own stuff. That's what we did. We ended up staying though so didn't ship back.

Guest Angp1 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 At the mo we are keeping our house back home for when we come home for visits. And we would need it here when we come home. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Not suggesting selling your house, just bringing your stuff. You will struggle to get furnished here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot01 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 There are furnished places but not many. Have a look on realestate.com.au. Probably more in the Western suburbs - e.g Claremont, City Beach etc. The alternative - there is IKEA in Perth and the charity shops sell furniture, pots and pans etc. Many unfurnished rentals come with oven, washer machine and dishwasher. Lots of second hand stuff on gumtree.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimmyC Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Furnished places are rare, the ones that do come up are usually at the cheap or expensive end of the market. Renting furniture is very expensive. Kitting a rental out with new furniture would be the best option, there are plenty of good value furniture shops in Perth. Establish a rental budget and be prepared to pay over the standard rental rates, especially for the nicer rentals. My wife is a relocation agent and is always telling me about client's unrealistic expectations. This is the tightest rental market in close to a decade and it will not be getting better for the next few years. Trying to find the perfect rental can be a long drawn out affair. Most rental seekers will compromise, be it location or their budget. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen_PFR Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 There is a real shortage of furnished properties on the market. You will also find that furnished places advertised on places like REIWA and realestate.com.au have the furniture, but not things like linen, crockery and cutlery, and pots and pans. Depending on what your budget is and whether your company is prepared to subsidise your rent, you may wish to look at holiday lets such as ours (click on the link in my signature) or Tracey's at www.ozhouserental.com, these might be suitable for what you're looking for.

Guest Angp1 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks. Bringing furniture from here might be an option ESP if we get a container. Might just fill it with idea furniture from here etc. so best bet is an unfurnished house. That way we can bring bikes etc with us. Thanks.
