Just bumping this back up there.... still no joy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So after saying I wanted to cancel, Internode have managed to connect me within days. Amazing! ....but also leaves me puzzled as to why it has to be so stressful / painful in the first place! Ah well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've just signed up with nuskope! Thank you let's hope I have more luck here. Will keep you posted haha Literary do not understand why this process is so difficult. Maybe wireless is the way forward!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've just been told after waiting a long time that I won't be getting a connection with Telstra to enable me to have Internet until 14th December. I want to cry mainly because it's so far away and I've been trying to organise internet since Sept 1st, and also because I fly home to the uk for Christmas that day so I have to cancel it! Has anyone else had such a complete nightmare getting connected? I'm feeling vexed and stressed and upset mainly because the entire process has been SO painful. Internet and telecommunications are a necessity these days, not a luxury. I'm amazing it's so difficult and that it takes so long. Any advice or help appreciated. Thanks.

Hey thanks for your message, oh really? So just not worth it? I'll get onto the pest control thank you. House was built in 1959 so not one of these beautiful period properties, but not a new house either. It feels strange buying a house without a survey as you'd be mad to buy a house in the uk without one! Thank you for your advice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, Can anyone recommend any building inspectors in Adelaide, suburb being Warradale. The equivalent of a survey in the UK! Just want to check the house I'm potentially buying is sound!! Thanks in advance Fran Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I got my 189 in April and I didn't do IELTS or any kind of English language lest. If you were born in the uk, studied in English etc that's enough. IELTS is a loophole for us Brits who don't scrape 60pts with the other criteria. Hope that helps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would the 90% include medical radiographers? I'm looking to buy my current rental as soon as I sign my new permanent contract in the public sector (I've been a locum the past year while waiting for my PR). Would I qualify? Also how long would I need to be in the permanent role for before being eligible for a home loan at the good rates mentioned. It would be a home for me to live in. Thanks for any info!

Thanks for the info

Can I just clarify. Is the FHOG still eligible on new builds? $15k? Any loophole where a permanent resident can't apply for it? Just looking at my options... Is the FHOG due to change in the gorse able future at all? Thanks Fran Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah shame, I'm working! The warradale is so close to me too. Have fun guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey pebbles. I'm in warradale. Happy to meet up for a coffee sometime. X Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They'll need more staff, they're going from 2 CT scanners to 7, two mri's to 4 etc etc. I think other hospitals that are closing down will bring they're staff to the RAH but they'll some vacancies!!

Thanks Kerry! Just collating info at the moment before I make a decision! It's all quite full on. Haha

Cool, good to know. Someone I know is talking about a guarantor. Does this avoid the mortgage lenders insurance? Does this person have to be an Australian citizen?

Thank you, say if I was looking to buy a property for around 450k how much money would I need in savings to achieve this? I'm also assuming that if I have a permanent job I'll get better rates as not so risky to lend to?

Hi john, no worries it's interesting seeing what everyone has to say! I'd be working shifts 24/7 so can't rely just on public transport sadly so would need to drive esp late at night / early in the morning. Prospect I've heard good things about. I was always told south of the city was better than north. No idea if this is the case or just biased Adelaidians I've spoken to. Are there any 'up and coming' areas that would make a decent return? I'm guessing buying closer to the city is better?

Any views on suburbs that are good to invest in that aren't too far from the city. I heard mile end but the airport noise must be crazy so that puts me off!

This is all very helpful. Thank you guys x

Hi cliffy, thank you. Yes I'll need to visit one. Any recommendations for any brokers out there? Were you able to get a home loan as soon as you got your PR? The home start does look like is for low income groups etc but they also specified skilled migrants which made me wonder if it was difficult securing a home loan as a migrant?

Ok, so my PR was granted last week. I'm already in Adelaide as was on a temp visa and I'm renting in warradale. I'm keen to buy somewhere. My Qs are... Can I gain a home loan so soon after getting my PR? I'm in casual locum work but aim to get a permanent job at the RAH (where I locum). Has anyone used the Home Start SA Gov home loans? I can't help but feel there's a catch here! Would you recommend going to a bank as opposed to using Home Start? While I plan on living in the house I buy, I also want an investment. What areas in Adelaide are worth investing in. I like it where I am but would be keen to be slightly closer to the city, and I'm more beach than hills but not opposed to it. Basically I'm not sure where to start or if this is even possible for me! I do have savings of course. I'm just not sure how to get started! Any info at all would be appreciated. Thanks! F x
