Re: Getting internet, TV, etc. HELP!

It is possible that there is no aerial (antenna) at the place you are moving too - the person living there now may have cable tv (probably virgin media if that’s what they do have). That’s a...

Re: New adventures

Oh no! So sorry to hear that :( I do hope you start to feel better soon.

Re: Visiting The UK

I think you can leave the country again within the 14 days. Simon Calder is a travel journalist and he has been talking about this - the only way to shorted the 14 day isolation period is to leave...

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?

Because, if we crash out of the EU with no deal, there is a possibility that there will be shortages of foods, medicines and fuel. The government's own papers (yellowhammer papers) confirm this.

Re: Me and My Family

Some people might consider that living for 3 years with a woman that hides the fact that she is the mother of 2 (possibly 4, not sure that's clear) children as not exactly 'near perfect'. Don't know...

Re: Renting in London with 4 legged friends.

We searched ourselves on rightmove, openrent etc and set up appointments to view. Ultimately, we rented via a letting agent, but we had also viewed ones which would have been rented directly from...

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?

Jogging in nice areas, shopping and nice restaurants are things that would be pretty easy to do anywhere in the country, really. As for the late night stuff, all night gym etc, those are not really...

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?

Canford School is still there and going strong - co-ed now. As you say, beautiful campus and grounds.

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?

One of the reasons that expensive properties are spread out is because, in general, land is very expensive in the UK - small island and all that. Therefore, almost by definition, a property with a...

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?

Oh, for sure - it's incredibly depressing when the sat nav shows well over an hour to go on the journey and it's only 30 miles (or less) in distance! However, to my mind, driving to somewhere...

We regularly drive between East Dulwich in London and East Dorset (quite near Bournemouth). It's a journey of 110 miles, takes approx 2 and a half hours - maybe 2 hours 20 if lucky or 2 hours 40 if...

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?

It's not 1 hour 20 minutes, door to door though is it? You need to get from your house to the airport - in enough time to get through security. Then get from the airport (Heathrow? Gatwick?) to where...

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?

Yes, I've seen that before, usually on new builds. You'll pay for it one way or another though - if the stamp duty is, for example £40,000, then the price is going to be effectively £40,000 more than...
