StraighttothePoint Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 That is not true for every case. We got a rental within a week. All we showed was a bank statement and got a reference from our old Agent in Melbourne and that was in Padbury so a good area. Sometimes depends on your budget as well, if your looking at around $450, try properties at $500 maybe have a bit more luck. Wee Dolly I do not disagree with what you say, or with alant in their circumstances, but my comment was in relation to Andy's current situation, and in the context of this thread and the difficulty he is having which seems tough. It is not an across the board statement because we all know things are different case by case. Andy appears to need an edge / advantage and so in this case I would say go pack as he could not any worse off by having one to use. Suited and booted is just another option to be different because he sounds as though he needs to try everything and anything at the moment.

Lou8670 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Brilliant news! Perseverance paid off at last. It's beautiful around Mandurah...you'll love it! We've spent at least 3 days there during our 13 day trip. We have been to 3 restaurants and 2 Domes; the one at Halls Head has wonderful beach views. It's one on our short list and we don't have to live in a regional area Lou x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
