Finding the right long-term accommodation is the single most important thing that you'll do when you arrive. Making the right choice can literally mean the difference between loving Perth or hating it.


Without doubt, the secret of success is hard work...

Hard work before you arrive:

• shortlisting suburbs : choosing locations that will balance the lifestyle that the family wants, with the commute time to work.
• identifying schools
• buy/rent/build timetable - and the implications of each
• track down a good quality place to stay initially - so your first impressions of Perth are not spoiled.

Hard work when you first get here:

• touring shortlisted suburbs to confirm their suitability.
• finding long-term rental properties - or tracking down suitable houses to buy.
