hi we are looking at being in perth end of june july 07 and have a friend who will pick us up and put us up (thats 3 kids noisy kids and 2 adults ) for a while but we dont want to out saty welcome i thought maybe we could hire a caravan while we looked for a house to buuyin the joondalup area so does any one know of caravan sites around there and if its cheaper dearer than renting a house . use to being in caravans last few hols have been at clacton! worth while cos now we are off to OZ!! CHeers :?:

Don't know much about caravan sites, but hubby travels around alot and says that some caravan parks seem to be used as low cost housing rather than holiday lets - so you may need to look around when you get here.

Hiya

Not sure really as we fixed ours up before we came. We tried www.movetoperth.com - it has some furnished rentals on that. Try to negotiate, we got a reduced rate as we stayed 12 weeks. A bit expensive at $625 pw, but we didn't have any bills to pay in the 3 months, and we got internet access which was invaluable. Having said that we also stayed Jan-March which was the height of summer.

I tried to contact a couple of real estate agents before hand but they were'nt very helpful

thanks ali for help, think we will leave it till we get there now. When we do go to agent to rent what sort of documents , deposit etc will we need? we are looking at renting for 3 months approx . thank you

We fixed up a furnished rental before we arrived, didn't need to do anything other than pay a weeks rent in advance as a deposit and a bond which was returned to us when we left.

Where are you thinking of staying?

HI Ali we are being picked up by a friend who will put us up for a few days while we look for furnished rental in joondalup sort of area any suburd around there really . thought it would be better to wait to rent when we get there beginning july 07 as we would get to see the place for ourselves , really need furnished as not bringing any furniture as its all pass its sell by date! Do you no of any good rentals would be until we find house to buy hopefully a couple of months . THanks Ali
