Hello everyone! Today we will talk about renting housing in Australia.
We will consider this on the example of Brisbane, as we live here.
As you understand, Brisbane is a large city with a population of just over two and a half million people,
and there are many areas here. Of course, we cannot cover all the areas.
Therefore, we will consider individual areas in which we know something, where we live.
The first few areas are located north of Brisbane.
It takes about 40-45 minutes by car to get to the city center by train, about the same.
Then there will be areas that are located near the city center, about 15-20 minutes by car.
Well, and at the end we will look at the central areas of the city.
Well, let's get started!
Hello everyone! We will consider various housing options on one of the most famous websites realestate.com.au.
Click Rent and enter the necessary areas here.
We will enter three areas that are located in the north.
This is North Lakes.
Next, add Mango Hill to it.
And one more area is Griffin.
Griffin.
And go to Search.
There are also filters here.
If you want, you can click and select certain criteria to narrow the search.
We will not do this so that there are as many options as possible.
So, the first one we got is Townhouse.
Photos are always in the first place.
You can take a quick look at what the house looks like.
Price per week.
This option is $ 540 per week.
There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two places in the garage for two cars.
And if you want to see in more detail, you click and exit.
Here we will give a little information about what everything looks like and what parameters are here.
The houses, by the way, are standard everywhere.
The only difference is that some are newer, some are older.
Next, look, price per week and then bond $ 2160.
What is a bond? If you don't know, this is the amount you pay in advance.
Usually this is for 4 weeks.
And also keep in mind that in addition to the bond, you will also need to pay approximately 2 weeks in advance.
Therefore, it turns out to be a fairly large amount to move into a rented apartment.
Then there is always a map here.
You can see where the area is.
Description.
What is in the house.
What is around the house.
What is included.
What do you pay for.
The same property features.
There is an air conditioner, for example.
In this case, pets allowed.
That is, it is possible to live with animals.
Which is very rare.
It is very difficult to find this.
There is a pool.
Next.
Inspections.
This is the time when you can come and see this apartment or this townhouse, for example.
And what is also important.
Always look at the schools below, which are in the area of this house.
If you have children, then this is very important.
For example, primary school.
The primary school is listed here.
Schools that are included in the area.
Secondary school.
This is already a secondary school.
These areas.
Or rather, these schools.
And child care.
These are kindergartens.
Kindergartens are not tied to anything.
It's just written here what is nearby.
This house.
To understand whether it suits you or not.
So here are the details.
Well, we look further.
What's next?
We have another townhouse.
515 per week.
Also three-bedroom.
You can also look.
As you can see, these are in the Griffin area.
These are already more double houses.
With one wall.
House in the Norris Lakes area.
Already 4-bedroom.
Pretty big.
680 per week.
This is a separate house.
As you can see, they are all very similar.
Inside.
This one is pretty new.
Very often they post a plan.
Next we have another house.
650 per week.
In the Mangahill area.
Next.
Also Mangahill.
650 per week.
4-bedroom house.
Everything is pretty standard.
Griffin area.
600 dollars per week.
4-bedroom house.
On the floor.
Tile.
Carpet.
Somewhere laminate.
Mangahill.
470 per week.
This is a duplex.
Semi-detached.
This is when there is a big house.
Divided into two parts.
You have one common wall.
470 per week.
Three bedrooms.
620 per week.
Griffin area.
4-bedroom house.
Basically, the houses are new.
665 per week.
Mangahill.
4-bedroom house.
Next.
500 dollars per week.
This is a townhouse.
Mangahill.
Pretty new.
Next.
What else do we have?
Mangahill.
500 dollars per week.
House.
It looks strange.
It looks like a townhouse.
But it says house.
Like this.
Townhouse.
By the way, as I said, when one big house
consists of two parts with one wall.
510 per week.
Three bedrooms.
There is no photo here.
But it doesn't matter.
Griffin.
610 per week.
As you can see, the houses are somewhere
around 650-690 in these areas.
And townhouses are somewhere around 500-550.
It all depends on the state of the townhouse.
Let's see, by the way, if there are apartments.
Because not everyone comes with children.
Not everyone needs three or four bedrooms.
Let's see if there are apartments in our areas.
So, we go to the filters and choose
the apartment and unit here.
It is in the northern part of Brisbane.
Here are the apartments.
A new complex has been built.
By the way, on the first floor there are shops.
On the second floor, as I understand it, there are apartments.
480 per week for two bedrooms.
It is the apartment.
Here is a plan.
Very convenient.
You can see.
Well, that's it.
Further.
How much?
Also two bedrooms.
440 per week.
415.
Also two bedrooms.
This is another house.
450.
Two bedrooms.
In principle, everything that we saw is in good condition.
Come in and live.
Again in the same house.
And that's it.
As you can see.
Oh no.
There is another option.
Well, there is literally one page of apartments.
Apartments in this area are not very popular.
And there are few of them.
580.
Three-bedroom.
So that you understand, yes.
The further you leave the city center,
the smaller the apartment will be.
There are no such small units with one or two bedrooms.
Here, in general, nothing is offered with one bedroom.
Again, here are two bedrooms.
420 per week.
Mangahill.
This is the same 480.
Two bedrooms.
Apartment in Mangahill.
400 dollars.
This is some kind of unit.
Two-bedroom.
Well, this is some kind of old one.
This is already Kiparink.
This is already further.
The area has gone.
Approximate area.
To what we chose.
Yes.
What do we have here?
Units have already gone.
And approximate areas.
There is an opportunity to click on the approximate areas.
It will show not only what you wrote,
but also what is around.
Kalanga.
Well, these areas are already considered so-so.
In general, as you can see,
here is such a pile.
Apartments are a little cheaper,
but there are not many of them.
It's hard to find a three-bedroom apartment there.
Yes.
Basically, everything that is shown is two bedrooms.
Let's choose other areas.
Let's look at the areas that are close to the center.
What I said, 15-20 minutes by car.
Well, or by public transport.
So.
Chermside.
Hamilton.
Let's take the Newstead area.
Noondah area.
And Kelvin Grove.
These are good areas,
close to the center.
We have been to all of them.
We really like them.
And there, in principle, we would live with pleasure,
if we were looking for housing.
So.
What do we get?
Apartment.
As you can see, two-bedroom.
650 dollars.
That is, the difference is already that the area is close to the center.
650 a week.
The same thing that you can take,
as we just looked in the distant area,
that is, in the north of Brisbane,
for 150 you can take a three- or four-bedroom house.
Yes.
That is, the difference is immediate.
And notice, apartments come out immediately in the first places.
That is, if houses and townhouses came out there,
then apartments immediately went here,
because there are many more of them around the center, of course.
What do we have here?
660.
Apartment.
Kelvin Grove.
Yes.
Two bedrooms, 660.
As much as a four-bedroom house costs in the north.
And this is 700.
700, three bedrooms.
Hamilton area, yes.
Hamilton is a good area, by the way.
Yes, we really like it.
So, here is some kind of house appeared.
But as you can see, the houses are old at once.
850, three-bedroom.
What kind of dual living?
Dual living potential.
Well, probably in the sense that two families can live.
Well, yes, or ...
Well, you see, they made cosmetics inside.
Inside it looks decent, normal.
Well, the kitchen is obviously old at once.
So, next.
What else do we have?
500 dollars a week, two-bedroom unit.
By the way, in the vicinity of nearby centers,
you can find a lot,
if it's a house or a unit,
they are usually not new.
Yes, look at the carpet right away,
and you can see it very well.
Here is the laminate.
And then, if you go back to the bedroom,
here, for example.
Here is the bedroom.
You can see the carpet right away,
it was cleaned, cleaned,
but it is so old.
By the way, landlords are trying to do this.
Those who rent a house
often save money,
which is wrong, I think.
Because the carpet is a dust collector,
which can make you very bad later.
So, when you rent a house,
go into the house,
look at the carpet,
how new it is or not.
Because everything is collected in it,
everything is accumulated.
Here is a more expensive apartment in front of you.
950 rubles per week,
two bedrooms.
These are, as I understand it,
some new cool houses.
Although I can't say
that it is super cool,
but 950 rubles per week is decent.
This is a new estate, right?
Yes, everything is now in a new estate,
apartments are being built.
Well, plus there is a pool,
of course,
in the house there are all sorts of barbecue areas.
Yes, and there is also a cinema.
Yes, you can watch a sports hall.
This is all, of course,
you pay for it too,
because the owner pays for it,
body corporate and everything else.
And, accordingly, you too.
Roughly speaking, everything is included in the rent.
Oh my God, townhouse,
2,700 rubles per week.
Here you are,
4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms.
And this is already considered cool.
Interesting, yes.
2,700 rubles per week is tough.
Yes, further.
530 rubles per week we have a new estate.
Here you are, who needs it?
One-bedroom unit.
530 rubles.
It generally looks like some kind of studio.
So that you understand,
here is the price distribution,
that is, 15-20 minutes from the city center
and 45 minutes from the city center.
But again, 45 minutes from the city center
is without traffic,
and traffic jams in the country, unfortunately,
well, both in the country and in Brisbane,
unfortunately, exist.
Here is the Noon area,
a two-bedroom apartment.
This is also not a new house,
450 rubles per week,
it is considered inexpensive,
still in such an area, in principle, it is normal.
Further, 400 rubles per week, one-bedroom.
Hamilton.
Hamilton, by the way, is a good area,
we said, yes,
400 dollars.
In principle, in the north for 400
you can find a two-bedroom apartment.
So, here we have a two-bedroom unit,
565 rubles per week.
Most likely, this is a part of the house.
Well, here it is built like this, it is clear.
So, another cool apartment on Newstead,
850 rubles per week, two-bedroom.
On the floor, the laminate is already a plus,
although I think this is a carpet in the bedroom,
or not, it is not clear.
Well, in general, as you can see,
in such cool beautiful houses,
two-bedroom, somewhere 850-950,
these are the prices.
Well, and so on.
I think the price distribution is clear.
Here is another apartment in Chermside,
also a good area,
600 dollars, two-bedroom.
And the Chermside area,
I literally heard the other day,
is going to be the second center,
so to speak.
There is a city center,
the central part,
and they are going to build it
in such a way that it is also the center of the city,
so to speak, the second center of the city.
Because in Sydney, for example, there is such a thing,
there is some stadium,
and around it they built just a huge number of things
that people use,
for this you do not need to go to the center.
They are going to do the same
for the Olympic Games.
And plus this area, Chermside,
that there is one of the largest shopping centers,
and, for example, if you go to work as a salesman,
or you have something related to retail,
then it is also good to settle there.
Oh, look, well, yes,
three-bedroom for 850.
This is a house.
Therefore, yes, such a price.
By the way, when Ilona says the word
cool apartment,
I mean cool by the standards of Australia,
not by the standards of some European countries,
or else, you understand.
We have repeatedly talked about this.
Well, here is another cool apartment,
890 per week, two-bedroom.
This means that this is a high-rise building,
and this means that in the house,
in this high-rise there is a barbecue area,
this is your apartment, as I understand it.
In general, there is nothing cool here,
look, everything is ordinary.
By the way, one more thing.
Apartments periodically come across with furniture.
Basically, rent here is given
completely empty apartments and houses.
That is, well, as I say, empty.
There is an oven, of course,
there is a stove, there is a dishwasher,
that is, a dishwasher.
That's all.
Everything else you buy
and start on your own.
Yes, so it also needs to be budgeted.
Budget needs to be planned.
You pay for an apartment,
it seems to be more in the central area,
but there is an opportunity to rent with furniture,
what you can save on.
Moreover, if you are not going to
sit in this place for a long time.
For example, I opened such
an inexpensive apartment on Newstead,
one-room, 580 per week.
And I wanted to see
if something interesting comes in here.
Well, here, of course,
absolutely everything that is
near this apartment is located.
What a cool layout.
Well, nothing like that.
Schools that are included in the zone.
And how to sign up for an inspection,
for a viewing.
Well, I think, in principle,
it is clear in relation to these areas.
Here is 650 Newstead,
two-bedroom too.
All these apartments with pools
and barbecue halls and so on.
By the way, as for how
you can come and see
an apartment or a house.
The time is indicated everywhere,
at what time the inspection is carried out.
But in order to come to this inspection,
you need to contact an agent
who will tell you right away.
You must fill out all the papers
and even the paper
that you want to rent this apartment
before you just go to the inspection.
This is in the book.
And you can do it
right away.
This is literally happening
in the last couple of years.
Again, we were also told
due to the fact that the demand
for rent is raging now.
And now the point is, so to speak,
the tenant, not the one who wants to rent.
Because before the pandemic,
as I was told, before the coronavirus,
it was the other way around.
They were trying to shove this apartment
or house in your face so that you
could only rent it.
You fill out all the papers.
There is a whole list through this site.
There is a lot to fill out.
We are tired of this.
The only thing is that all this, of course,
is saved in memory on the site.
And when you want to see another apartment,
then it all pops up.
You change certain things a little bit,
and that's it.
We haven't seen it yet.
As far as I understand,
it's quite an old house
that was renovated by 550
for three bedrooms.
Well, look at the old bathroom.
Next, 860 Newstead.
Again, this is probably
some kind of new house,
two-bedroom.
So that's it.
Now let's look at the houses,
the apartments that are in the center.
Central areas.
We take it all.
We lead such a district as South Bank.
Then we'll take New Farm.
We even lived there for a while.
We rented an airbnb
when we just arrived.
Kangaroo Point.
And we'll take Oolongaba.
And let's see.
We'll take all the views.
So what do we have?
Look, fully furnished.
This means that the apartment
is fully furnished.
650 per week.
Two-bedroom.
For starters,
it's very good, I think.
Yes.
It's very cool that, first of all,
yes, it will be more expensive
on the one hand,
on the other hand,
you don't have to spend a lot of money
on buying a refrigerator, a bed,
and so on.
Not a new house, you see?
650 per week.
365 studio.
That is, it's just all in one room.
365 per week.
Well, it's like...
It reminds me of a hotel
as there used to be such apartments.
Very, of course, everything is small.
Just a closet.
Convenient for a student.
Well, for a student, yes.
365 per week for such a baby
on Kangaroo Point.
This is generally considered
a cool central area.
Next, a two-bedroom apartment.
580 per week on New Farm.
Old houses.
Because the areas, so to speak,
are not modern and new.
It is also clear that it is old.
Of course, they are developing,
new houses are being built.
Beautiful views.
There is also a pool.
So, 900 dollars.
This is probably a new high-rise house.
900 dollars a week for a three-bedroom
on Kangaroo Point.
No, it doesn't look like it's a new house.
Not new.
Here you are.
Another old house.
7 bedrooms in total.
This is for the Chinese, probably.
Well, by the way, to be honest,
7 bedrooms are 900 dollars.
Maybe even wooden floors, look.
Yes, 7 tenants, like students.
In total, in principle, it turns out
not so much.
This is an old house,
it probably crunches all over,
can you imagine?
We have already lived in the old one.
When I was a student,
I didn't mind
the crunches and so on.
It's a very old house.
Well, something like that.
Let's see further.
And the doors too, look.
This is advertising.
750 a week too.
Two-bedroom apartment.
The apartment is also not new.
Old.
On Kangaroo Point.
Oh, here you are.
Townhouse, 1600 a week.
With its own pool.
New Farm.
You see, the pool is exactly yours.
The fact is that all the pools that you see
belonging to townhouses,
what you see,
this is not your pool or apartment.
Naturally, the pool is not yours.
Naturally, the pool is for general use
among all residents.
Look, some kind of house.
I would not say that it is so beautiful.
1600 a week, but because New Farm.
150 two-bedroom townhouse.
Also on New Farm.
So far, some old houses are mainly found.
Well, because you yourself said
that most will be there anyway.
So, one-room apartment.
380 a week.
Something more or less modern.
Lungaba.
Also so small.
You go straight into the kitchen.
You see, the paint can is still there.
Someone tinted it before leaving.
Plus, by the way, these apartments
are iconic.
It can be used as an additional room.
Well, of course, a place where you can
rest.
By the way, for lovers of barbecue,
even on electric,
you will find out at the beginning
whether it is possible to do this.
Because there are situations
when this cannot be done.
So that you are not fined for this.
400 dollars a week.
One-room apartment.
Here, by the way, almost everywhere
is a living room.
Rarely where it is separate.
But it happens.
1800.
Downstairs home office and studio.
And a pool.
On the other hand,
if you have a business,
a central area,
you live,
and you can also have an office.
Why not?
4 bedrooms.
Yes, this is a good option
and looks like a house.
1095 for a 3-bedroom.
This is our kangaroo point.
What is a 2-bedroom unit?
680 a week.
And as you can see,
the more
nice the housing looks,
the more the price increases.
Here it is,
in my opinion, 610.
Something modern.
But one bedroom.
For 610.
You can rent a house in the north.
Not only in the north,
but also remotely.
Yes, I think the price distribution is clear.
The closer to the center, the more expensive.
The further,
the more you can rent
and cheaper.
Again,
it is not necessary to consider only the north.
We consider the north,
because we live there.
We also did research
before we moved,
but you must understand
that a lot depends on your work,
where you want to travel,
where you want to be.
Therefore,
it is necessary to choose.
But there are areas
with a high criminal rating,
there are areas with not very good schools,
with not very good neighbors,
and so on.
Therefore, it is really necessary
to conduct research.
Of course, now it is much easier
because there are many forums
for Russian-speaking people,
where people can share.
We probably got information
about North Lakes,
about Manga Hill, about these areas.
Yes, but first of all,
when you are looking for a place to live,
you must understand
which zone you want to live in,
closer to the center,
so that you have a busy life,
or you want a more sleeping
and calm area.
Of course, you can start from school,
first find a school,
and then look for housing
around the school,
or related to your work.
That is, the area should be searched
for your needs.
By the way, there are also sites,
now we will show it to you,
in order to check the criminal rating
of this particular area.
The first site I would like to show
is a site called
homely.com.au
Here, I have already opened it,
you can easily look
at all the areas
in Australia.
You see, they are listed here
in different states.
We, of course, consider Queensland,
as we live here.
So, please, choose
Ipswich, Hope Island.
Take New Farm.
Well, here is New Farm,
we choose New Farm.
Here is the rating of the visitor,
26 descriptions.
On this site, people share
what they know,
what they think
about a particular area.
It is also shown here
what this area is for,
who lives here,
what the plan of the people is,
and so on.
I don't know at all
what it is for.
Parks, Recreation, Public Transport,
nothing at all.
And who lives here?
Professionals, workers,
families with children,
pensioners,
and even
all sorts of other comrades.
I don't know
what to add to this.
Here are a lot of reviews
from different people.
There are people
who are not afraid
to leave their name,
there are people who come up with
specific names.
Here is the incomplete rating.
This is for September 2022.
Usually, people who lived there
or worked there
leave their name.
Here, for example,
Good luck with sleep.
A person was not allowed to sleep.
I can agree with this,
because there is really
a night life,
plus old houses.
Accordingly, if you rent an apartment,
there are such things,
such reviews.
And so you can choose
the area you are interested in
and read about it.
There is a map.
One more site
about the criminal rating.
Let's see the ads.
It is called
eucrimerate.com
I already opened everything,
chose the North Lakes,
Queensland area.
There is a description here.
Please.
31 out of 100.
100 is the safest area.
31 is not very good.
Here, of course,
as always, there is a map
and so on.
Advertisements are everywhere.
In short, the meaning is clear.
31 is not a very good rating.
The question is
whether it is safe or not.
Please read.
Oh my God, what we have seen.
Advertisements are everywhere.
It is written that
the past 5 years
historical trailer.
What is so interesting?
You can even look at the years
as a criminal rating.
That is, the number of crimes
committed in a year.
From 18, 19, 20.
In principle,
approximately at the same level
as in 2018.
There is such information.
More detailed.
We will not consider it now.
At the same time, you choose.
For example, Griffin.
It is right next to it.
Griffin.
Such a borderline system.
Search is in progress.
Griffin, Queensland.
It is right next to it.
And the rating is
75.
The rating is much better.
I want to remind you.
100 is the safest area.
Here is an example.
The areas are absolutely
next to each other.
And the criminal rating is so much different.
Let's take a comparison.
For example, we like Hamilton.
Let's see it.
South Australia.
Queensland.
This one.
Please.
73.
73 out of 100.
Good rating.
By the way,
all the information is clear.
You can look.
Fortitude Valley.
Yes.
The very first area where we lived
is Fortitude Valley.
This is the area of constant parties,
clubs, bars.
Write it down.
Interesting.
Fortitude Valley, Queensland.
Come on.
Damn.
We should close it every time.
Firstly,
so that we do not advertise anyone.
Secondly,
the criminal rating is 2.
In short, this is the most terrible
criminal rating of all possible.
0 is probably
only in some suburb.
Here is an example.
We lived there.
You can live there for a short time.
No.
When you live in an apartment
on some floor, it does not bother you much.
But I mean not only
accommodation, but also
walking.
There are a lot of homeless people.
Sick people.
They don't walk, they shout
incomprehensible things.
Who knows what's in his pocket.
Just recently
a person was stabbed there.
Right on the railway station.
That's it.
If you still have any questions,
be sure to ask them.
We will try to answer them.
I hope this video was useful to you.
If so, be sure to put your finger up.
Do not forget to subscribe to us.
We will say goodbye to you.
That's all for today.
Bye everyone.
See you soon.
