@nikx, Hindi pa po kami nagapply ng wife ko. Pagdating na lang doon kasi ang dami namin ginagawa for this move. Nagsearch po ako ng house sa Domain and Realestate.com.au, I contacted them using the online email. Nagregister din ako sa Chubbi. Whole house po ang kinuha ko kasi we are a family of 5 and we're carrying all our stuff from 11 years in Singapore. Pag magrent po ng house, pre-requisite and a MUST yung house viewing before pa nila consider yung applicant. After the viewing, doon pa lang nila ibibigay yung application form. Fill it out and submit to them together with the required documents. Points system yung documents like passport, NRIC or any National ID that has your birthdate, Drivers license, birth certificate, utility bills, credit card statements, bank statements, etc. Meron po yan corresponding points but yung 1st 2 or 3 that I mentioned is a MUST to submit. Then from a pool of registrants, mamimili yung landlord kung kanino nya ibibigay yung house. Just wait for the result or follow up with the agent. Dahil sa system na ito, I had to apply for several houses in my shortlist kasi unsure kung magiging successful ka. Naging successful kami sa Northgate suburb and Findon but I chose Findon based on what I have read and opinions from people living in the area. Punta ka din sa police website kasi uso ang house break-ins sa Aussie. So choose the better neighborhoods na lesser ang crime rate. First things first, sana may friends kayo sa Adelaide na makatulong sa house inspection. Dyan kami nahirapan kasi agents ang nagbibigay ng time and date ng inspection. Also, deal with agents rather than owners for peace of mind kasi complete ang documents na ibibigay sayo. And dont worry, wala po bayad ang agent like in Singapore. Dito, only the landlord pays the agents fee. Hope this helps.
