House Hunting, House Hunting, House Hunting......

Sorry for not updating the blog for so long, but there was really not too much to tell....
End of November, we started house hunting, and that's what we've done for at least 3 weeks. It was quite a process. We didn't expect it being that difficult.

For the first week, we were totally in the dark. We would go every morning into the internet onto the property pages, find what we like and phone straight away for a viewing of the property. Once viewed, we got told, the house is actually rented already. :-( Alright...

Then we found out, we had to install a property find automatic search so that we get notified immediately, once a property meeting our criteria gets on the market. We found two that we liked, viewed them (with 2-8 other couples), submitted our official application for the property (incl. several ID documents, reference contact no's and proof of current residence) and....... got rejected. We!!!! Can you imagine.
And the search started all over again......

However, we eventually found a very nice house in Ringwood East, 30 km East of the city centre, 10 min from my work and 10 min for Bob to get onto the closest freeway. So, it's perfect. There are even a number of shops and the station within 10 minutes walking distance :-) What more do you want?!
We'll move in on 15th of January and can't wait, the appartment with its 22qm gets smaller by the day :-)
