Thank you!!

ravi s 1 second ago GOOD LUCK LOTS OF LOVE Problem is you have to pay rent $3000 a month for rent for the rest of your life (city). In Australia the average house price is 800,000 to 1.2 million dollars .Who can afford that ? Also lack of job opportunities in Australia

No work in Australia after covid Rent cost 2.5 to 3 thousand a month Don’t come to Australia

@@drsurinataneja are you single

It seems it's developed so much, I love it 😍

Hi, my son will be studying in QUT garden point next year. May i know which area is affordable and commute easily to QUT?

@user-is3fd8hn8f There's various student accomdations such as Scape and UniLodge that have apartment complexes scattered throughout the city. Alternatively, you can look at UQ's colleges (On-campus accomdation) that provides meals and cleaning services.

Thank you for leaving such a lovely comment! Had been very sad to see the damage done from the floods but definitely still loving Brisbane 😊

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy them 😊

Thank you! Good luck for uni😀

Glad you enjoyed it :)

How is your hunt going? I'm moving to Brisbane from overseas next month and will be looking for a 1bedroom as well. I've heard they're in a housing crisis atm so really worried about not finding anything. / not getting approved. Have you had much luck?

@@oliviamacrobbie9444 Hey! We recently got offered 3 properties so don’t be discouraged! If you’re looking for a place in the inner-city it’s definitely a lot more competitive but, if you’re looking for a place 3-5km out of the city, it shouldn’t be too hard. I’d definitely be proactive in communicating with the real-estate agent so they get your application on their radar. Give them a call asking for the status of the application/ if they’d found a successful applicant yet. I found they would approve someone and not let you know for a couple of week whilst the property is still listed as available. You could also email the building manager and ask them if anybody’s lease is ending soon and that you’d be interested in moving in ( we did this a couple of times and got to put our application in before they listed it online ). All the best with the move 😊

@@beingbett Congrats on getting offers! thanks so much for the advice :) Its pretty nerve-wracking hearing all the horror stories people have been having.

Same. I've lived in brisbane for 15 years and love the fact you can be driving around a random suburb, turn a random corner then..boom.... amazing view.

​@@jadedbelle4788which areas get these views I'm moving!

I lived in Brisbane for 8 years. Horrible place and people. So glad i left that place and that country. Disrespectful supremacists. They're friendliness is superficial and it will be the same for you as you're a person of colour. People just like to paper over the cracks in that dense and controlled society

Still sooo much cheaper than London 😅

Glad you enjoyed! Also I watched your "So you want to move to Brisbane" video soon after I moved here a couple of months ago and loved it! So informative, thanks for sharing :)

@@drsurinataneja Cheers. I was surprised you managed to bargain the rental price of your place down in the current environment. Good job!

Ah NYE and Riverfire were so amazing! Most of us who have come from the UK this year live in S bank!

Yes it came furnished, we bought a few things here and there (more details in my flat tour vid) 😊

Oh it was so amazing!! Great view from the balcony 😊

It can depend on the aspect of the second bedroom. Some will get too much sun and need a small window. Also more common in modern towers. Other apartments with a good aspect will have a huge second bedroom. Often going out to the same verandah as the main living area and master.

Haha enjoying this life whilst I can!! We were okay in the floods thanks for asking, hope you were too 😊

Nice, don't make the mistake I made and work for $1000/month for your best years. Get to $200k/y before you're 30 and be able to semi retire by 40.

Will do!

Hi! We applied on one day and moved in the next day! Varies a lot I guess based on paperwork and the landlords etc. Max time it took us for applications to the flat being ready to move in was probably 3-4 days but the one we ended up going with too 1 day.

www.realestate.com.au/rent/ was my best friend!

Ooh yeah did hear those areas are nice to live in too but most of us UK docs chose South Bank in the end because of the novelty of being able to afford to live in a city centre! Not possible in most UK cities esp London😅

@@drsurinataneja FYI, some of those towers near the storey bridge you looked at are considered in the city centre. The one's where you said you were only young and would prefer to head back to the city centre. And where you chose isn't considered part of the city centre. Interesting to see your perspective from the outside.

Even worse in London 🙈

@@drsurinataneja wow...amazing! Wondering how regular folks handle the high prices...😯

We are okay thank you. Water locked into the building at the moment but all safe and well. Hope you are okay.

Hi, I heard a lot about the difficultly with renting in Brisbane but didn't experience it much when I was looking in Sept 2021. Perhaps it is worse in more suburban areas but central Brisbane seemed fine for me and most of my friends too. I did tonnes and tonnes of viewings and expressed interest asap in any I was keen to pursue :)

@@drsurinataneja That's awesome! Thanks so much.

Hi Melanie, I live in Brisbane and have my whole life. the rental crisis here is very bad. there are families sleeping in their cars because the cost of rent is just so unaffordable for most families, and so so competitive. I wouldn't be in any rush to move here just yet, as it is hard enough for us already living here unfortunately.

@@natsbeats69420 Thanks so much for your honesty. I have decided it may be a better choice to move back to Canada. As much as I love Australia the cost of living in Canada is better. I can take extended vacations in Australia. It is my favourite place on earth for sure

No didn't look there! Thank you 😊

Excludes bills

@@drsurinataneja thanks!

I love the sun 😍

Ahh hope you find somewhere you love :)

Hahahahaha this comment made me a laugh a lot. Not sure if I could pad out a whole video about this but essentially: -I got the en-suite (obviously) -We stick to our own bathrooms at all times of day and night -Guests use mine because the en-suite has two doors (Jack and Jill bathroom) so they can only access mine from the communal areas. Also I have the nice soaps and diffusers so all round better guest experience I think.

Thanks! How exciting 🤩 I used Airbnb whilst I found a flat so not too sure about alternatives unfortunately. Pretty much everyone else I know who came out here at the same time did the same too.

Nope!

@@drsurinataneja AWESOME, thank you!

Ooh okay 👀
