Just got myself a new job based in Bristol, bit too far to commute from Sheffield so looks like I may be heading for a move sometime soon..

I like city centre living, and noticed some new flats being built near the river, (round about the Watershed/Arnolfini area) which would suit; anyone got any details? Managed to miss the name of the estate agents as I drove past.. Probably horrendously overpriced, but you never know..

Having developed an allergy to estate agents when I moved last, can anyone suggest someone that is sensible to deal with when looking for property in the Bristol area?

Having seen the prices of some of those developments, and what I can get for less money if I stay out of the city, I'm tempted to not go for the city centre flat type thing afterall. Love it up in Sheffield in a flat in the city, whats up with Bristol? I was a student there *cough cough* 15 years ago and loved the place..

Cheers folks.. I can feel a pint or two heading your way come the new year sometime.. Assuming I can find my way around well enough to find the pub that is..

I've a list of a few agents, but not found them terribly helpful over the phone so far. But then again, a farily vague request of 'what can I get for about this much money and roughly in this sort of area' is probably not what they want to deal with..

I'll start looking around when I get there, but looking at routes to the office from Sheffield which I'll have to do once a week and I'm convinced I'm going to have to move sooner rather than later. Suits me, loved Bristol when I was therew before.

Starting to like the idea of village and scooter to commute when I need to be there. House plus garage and driveway means I get to keep the S in comfort and have a runaround for when I need it.. I do like living in citycentres though..
