Living in the UK is an exciting opportunity for any Australian, New Zealand or South African Tradesperson.
Moving to a new country to live and work can be a daunting prospect. The process may seem overwhelming at first, but knowing that millions of Antipodeans have gone before you, having had an experience of a lifetime, is all the reassurance you need.
If you do not have friends or family to stay with upon your arrival in the UK, it may be a good idea to spend your first few nights or weeks in a hostel. All good guide books will have a list of recommended hostels, alternatively you can visit www.hostelworld.com to compare hostels and prices. Once you start to settle in and know more about where you will be working, you may wish to look for more permanent accommodation.
The following websites may be helpful when looking for more permanent accommodation in the UK. Please ensure you always read the Terms & Conditions of all property to rent websites. You should never be required to pay money for a property before you have arrived in the UK. Always view the property before paying a deposit.

Michael - Aussie Labourer in London
“Working with Downunder Tradies has been a great experience. They are a great help when first moving to London by setting you up, and they keep the work coming. You are always working alongside professional tradesmen and they are always flexible with my travel plans.”
