Ailie and Jake

Hello! 🇦🇺 🩷

My name is Ailie Gray, and I am a 20-year-old student from Scotland. I will be relocating to Perth with my partner, Jake, as part of an academic exchange between the University of Glasgow and the University of Western Australia, which will run until July 2027 with the possibility to extend. This opportunity represents a significant academic and personal milestone, and we are therefore keen to ensure that our accommodation arrangements are secure and well-organised in advance of our arrival.

From a financial perspective, we are both in stable employment in the United Kingdom and can provide comprehensive evidence of income and reliability. I have been employed as a swimming teacher since July 2024, and I am also able to provide references from previous roles in both the UK and the United States. Jake similarly has an extensive employment history, with referees from roles in childcare, retail, and asphalting in the UK and the United States. He has also secured employment in Perth commencing in July. This provides an additional level of financial continuity upon our arrival.

On top of this, I will be receiving my student loan of $1,400 AUD/month throughout the entire duration of our stay. Furthermore, Jake and I will be arriving with $20,000 AUD in savings that we are happy to provide evidence of.

In addition, I can provide a strong landlord reference from my previous tenancy in Glasgow’s West End (September 2024 – January 2026), which reflects our reliability, respect for property, and consistency as tenants.

We approach this relocation with a high degree of organisation and responsibility, and we are particularly keen to secure a property prior to arrival. While we retain some flexibility, we are ideally aiming to move in around the end of June/start of July.

As we are currently based in the UK, we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to attend virtual viewings via Teams, WhatsApp, or a similar platform, and are happy to accommodate different time zones where
necessary.

Again, thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Ailie Gray
