Hi All,

Making quite a big move soon, having lived in London and then in Oxford i have just taken a job in Brixworth starting at the begining of August. My girlfriend has also secured her dream job in Nottingham so we are making a move north!

Not knowing that part of the country well we have chosen to live in Leicester as it will be equal distance to both Brixworth and Nottingham, and she has the option to work out of Leicster as her work has small office there.

We will be looking for a minimum 2 bed flat/ house and can afford up to £1000 pcm on rent.
Been looking on Rightmove/ Zoopla and hope to go and look at some properties this weekend. we should be able to get something good for that budget, prices seem to be about 50% less than Oxford so cant complain.

Any advice?

Thanks

Thanks Guys! smile

We have put an offer in on a place to rent in Leicester (Stoneygate) which seems to be in a nice area with a few nice places around it and not far at all from the city center. Good access onto the A6 to get to work so as long as its not a traffic nightmare then i think i have positioned myself as well as i can.

Already have a dash cam fitted, and i grew up in West London so the quality of driving cant be anything worse than i have come to expect. eek
