Hi,
I was told by some ex-pat friends of mine that when we finally move to Perth we would find it difficult renting as ex-pats (as we'd have no Australian referees since we'd have just come from the UK). They said we would probably have to live with them for a few months first before we could just rent a property.
I find this hard to believe as a lot of people who emigrate don't know anyone they'd be able to stay with. They stayed with their sister but not everyone has a sister or friend they could stay with! Could someone let me know just how easy or difficult it is renting with only UK references please? Surely a deposit & UK referees are sufficient?
Many thanks
