Mortgages

Hiya, wondered if anyone can help?

How does it work with obtaining a mortgage in Australia? Do you have to be employed for a certain amount of time? Do you need references from the UK. How much can you borrow, is it the same as the UK (e.g. 3 x annual wages). We would love to buy asap on arrival but other half might not secure a job straight away, not sure how it works.

Sorry if this question has already been asked already but I read that much on here that it fries my brain and I forget half of it!!

Thanks, (from cold, wet windy miserable N.E. England) how I wish i was in Oz!

Hi Joanne,

I don't know about how much they will lend you ie 3 x annual wages but the rest I think you will find an answer to on ......
