Hi,

I imagine that I will be asking a lot of question on here over the next few months, so I thought that I should introduce myself first.

Amazingly, last week I was offered a job I had optimistically applied for in Lower Hutt. The only possible downside is that they want me to start in January, so suddenly I have a very busy 2 months in front of me.

To further complicate things, by boyfriend/partner owns a house in Cambridge (UK) which we have been renting out one or two rooms of for the last 5+ years. We also own a house in Liverpool that we live in. Both houses have lots of furniture and possessions... Current plan is to keep renting the Cambridge house, and store our stuff in the loft (which we are currently boarding...), and to sell the Liverpool house, with my partner not joining me in NZ until that has been sorted enough to leave. Not sure if it will be possible to do any of the selling process remotely.

Anyway, Hello everyone!

Hi Jenelopy
Welcome to the forum I'm sure you will find all the answers to your questions on here.
Good luck with everything, I'm sure it can be done.
May see you around Wellington :)

Hi Jenelopy - sounds like we are in a similar position! I was offered a job (in Wellington CBD) nearly 2 weeks ago, and have a start date lined up for the 22nd January. Like you we have 2 properties, but are selling both. What with cars to sell, houses to clear (we have furniture & stuff in both that we want to take), and a storage lock-up where we are moving stuff that we want to keep... everything is in a turmoil!

I am trying to get the visa paperwork sorted, otherwise we aren't going anywhere....

Where are you up to in the migration process?

Welcome to the forum. We too are in a similar position. My OH was offered a job at the end of October to start 3 December... We're not going to make that date, so now he's asked for a revised date based on our progress with the application process so far. We're also going to rent out our house, so that makes things a bit easier.

Good luck!
