Many thanks and love the forum, it has been so enlightening.

    Hi feathers and welcome! [:)]

    I’ve found the web site homepriceguide.com.au really helpful – it gives you lots of free ‘facts’ about an area, not sure if they are particularly up to date. Council websites are okay but sometimes terribly out of date.

    Good luck!

    Pleasure!

    Another thing to be wary of is the amount that lenders will lend you in rural areas – always good to ask around who people in these towns bank with because the smaller the town the harder it generally is to get out-of-towner lenders onside. If you use a broker even better because they’ll do the hunting for you and should be accredited to send applications to any of the bigger lenders in most towns if need be – ie because you live many miles away.

    Good luck!
