Advise on location to rent near Bracknell
Discussion
Hi all,
So I've been offered a job based in Bracknell. I currently live in Worcestershire, and don't know that neck of the woods very well. Just looking for some pointers of where I should be looking to rent.
It is just for myself, no kids, no pets, no other half so only looking for a one bedroom flat/house. I currently live in a 1 bed end terrace which I prefer as has a small garden, own driveway, and is in a nice area. I get this for a very reasonable £500 a month. Looking on Zoopla, Berkshire is a lot more expensive so will struggle to get close to this.
I am not too fussed about living up to 20 miles away as don't mind commuting within reason. I was thinking area's such as Reading, Guildford, Basingstoke. Possibly High Wycombe but I've heard mixed reports on the area. Don't really want to go East at all as want to stay out of London. I'd prefer a similar situation to what I have currently. Is that possible on my budget in these area's, if not, what do you think this typically would set me back in this area?
The other alternative is looking to do a houseshare and find a flat mate. I'd prefer to do this rather than having a complete dump, but would ultimately still prefer to be on my own if possible.
Any suggestion or advise would be much appreciated.
