Thanks folks,
Budget sort of depends on what I have to pay, and I can’t tell from Rightmove what the numbers are coz I don’t know the areas. IE some good stuff at £500PCM, but is that in a terrible area, or is that the sort of budget I need to set.
Obviously I’d love a swanky place, but I’m not gonna throw rent money a a swanky pad, so trying to get a good balance of comfort/safety/interest/cost. Thinking 2 bed, parking, bit of outside space for bike fiddling, modern-ish, fully functional.
Work is (will be) central town, the old Standard life building, approx 10 mins walk from waverley, but I’ll cycle commute up to about 15miles, so fairly wide scope.
I’m not anti-party, good grief, that would amuse my mates.. Just not constant (week day) parties, I’m 36, so Student ville is probably not for me, and bluntly I want to avoid the rougher areas. I want to be able to go for a run after dark.
Assuming it all works out I’d hope to learn the city and then buy somewhere next year.
