She got it

Congratulations. Have a good bottle of wine and good luck with the Immigration NZ process. (You'll need both.) Hopefully for your wife the UK is on the OK list and she won't have to deal with NZQA (New Zealand Qualifications Authority) which will make things quite a bit less painful.

When does the moveover roughly happen?

Good luck finding a short term rental. We had a shit of a time. None of the property managers around here are the slightest bit helpful - and don't even think about trying to get hold of any of them on a weekend.

I did eventually succeed in making an appointment to meet one who was going to show me a few options. I flew down, called her on landing, as arranged, but the maggot wouldn't answer her phone. She knew I was flying down specifically to see her too. Nobody in the office either, so it was a complete waste of airfares and car rental, not to mention my time.

I decided that I will never deal with those wankers again so we stayed in hotels for a few months while we did the sell/buy thing. It cost a bit more but at least the hoteliers were deserving of my money. If you go that way I know of a nice private chalet type deal with pretty good rates and a top bloke as a manager.

Cheers, i was thinking of the hotel route but our only problem is that we have 3 dogs and wanted to bring them over sooner rather than later. If i have to i can leave them here for a few months but they are like our babies (sad i know) and i can,t see the wife going for it

Any landlords round the christchurch area on here ?????

3 to 6 month lease willing to accept dogs dont mind paying a bit more for the hassle feel free to mail me

cheers Neil n Jan

Your best bet would be to find a boarding kennel for the dogs while you locate a house for yourself.
We have just one dog and finding a landlord that accepts them is very tough these days.

So you are coming over for winter- poor thing.
Nb our houses (unless you can afford newish) are not as well insulated as they are your way. Bring warm gear- stock up now.

Organise for your babes to stay at this kennel until you find a rental/house if they don't need to be quarantined.

they are near Lincoln but only 15/20mins from town, I use them for our three dogs. They are well looked after there & have a ball. The new area is finished now & the rooms are great size. I am a bit bias as I have worked from time to time there to help out Gaye & Rodney. Gaye vet nursed for years & is great animal handler. Wonderful,ethical caring people & bikers too--when they can find the time.

Good luck for rentals you might have to slum it to get a place for dogs. If I hear off anything will let you know

Hi there Neil n Jan
Could be a bit of a problem. I have done quite a bit of work for a rental management company so i will have a word with them a bit nearer the date. They have over 200 houses on thier books. I wouldn't have a problem renting you mine round the corner from my place but the tenant looks like she's going to die in that place before she moves out. Hows things over in pomgolia. Went for a ride over to fox on the west coast the other day. The weather was brill and the scenery better.

Cheers Tony.

[triple-bee]

well if she does die we could move in as long as she dont decay to much and stink up the place, i think we are gonna have to leave them behind for a month or 2 and buy straight away, or maybee i will come over a month before and start searching for a rental. Either way we are gonna get there so it,s all good if your mate can come up with something that would be brilliant we will take any thing that is travelling disance from the uni and has the room for the dogs

cheers tony
