WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOME IN PERTH, AUSTRALIA!

After what felt like a lifetime of house hunting (but in reality was a fraction of the time I know some spend!), culminating in an absolute whirlwind sale, we have bought, settled on and moved into our dream home in Perth, and are still pinching ourselves.
Join us for a moving vlog as we leave the rental market and embark on home ownership in Australia.
Don't forget to send through your questions on the process, and I'll be sure to film a video talking through our experience buying a home here!

Thanks for watching

Omg after so long now you have a vlog. Congrats on getting your new home!

Congratulations to you both, ...genuine question where is the Aircon?,

I found your videos as I'm moving back to Perth from London with my British husband. I haven't lived there for almost 15 years so feeling a little mixed about it all, but your vids seem positive so there's some relief there :D

Congrats on your home, looks lovely!

We're also hoping to buy soon after we arrive and I have no clue how it all works. My questions are:
- how many houses did you look at?
- do you feel you had to compromise?
- did you offer over asking price? if so, by how much?
- did you offer on any other places? If so, were there lots of offers on those places?

Thanks in advance, look forward to your next video!!

One of your subscribers (means me) moved in Perth last June 🤣 could you share the sub name please ? Just curious 🧐

Hi Cat, we are a young couple from the UK who moved to Perth last year on a working holiday visa, but we are looking to stay long term on a sponsorship visa. Do you need permanent residency to get a mortgage here? Do you need much renters experience to get a mortgage here? We are currently renting through Flatmates so have no official renting experience due to the crazy market here! Thanks :)

Very nice! I hope you'll enjoy your new home and be comfortable there for many years to come. 😀

Congrats from one Perthite to another, just curious to hear how you went as the local market is tough at the moment, did you have much to choose from?

[issycordwell]

Congratulations on your lovely new home!!! Looks so light and bright and gorgeous sunsets! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the place 😍🤩🥳

What suburb did you end up moving to? I just watched your suburb video! Congratulations, sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it.

Congrats guys, house looks amazing! It would be great if you could explain how long you need to have been living in Australia before you can buy a property free from the foreign buyer rules. Also what minimum deposit percentage is typical in Australia, is it similar to the UK?

Congratulations on the purchase of your new home .

WTF* is your house? What part of Perth, , ? Assuming it is Perth, ((?)

[jaks]

So glad you’re so happy!👍🏻💞🥰J&C xx

House looks great with your furniture. I think a stone feature would be nice to cover the brick in the lounge and it would be in keeping with the MCM vibe. 😊

Congratulations!!! 🏠 🥂

I’m a fellow brit who has been in NZ the last 8.5 years but considering a move to Perth.
What’s the pre approval process like in Aus? Broker vs direct to bank what would be your advice?
Is the buying market as hot as rental market in Perth? 😃

[allanahrobinson-cook]

Congratulations! Could you please share the name of that furniture place? It looks great!

[victoriaivy]

I’m not sure if you’ve posted your buying experience vlog but please don’t name the selling agent as it would be so super easy to find your addresss from that alone

[pandaexpress]

Congratulations! 🎉 it would be great if you could walk us through the house buying process and any challenges you faced along the way. Also, did you use any government schemes or receive any waivers, exemptions, etc?
