Not in Bexhill any more then.
Also what sort of size are the house plots in that area. Looked on my UBD but you can't really tell from that
Really pleased things are going well.

We had a 5 week stay on Main beach and just looked around from there. We came very close to moving to Cleveland "which is lovely"...... but we came here to be close to the beach so just hoped we'd find another area that we would fall in love with... and we have after along time looking we've settled in Currumbin Waters its a really nice here got the beach 5 mins away, a good choice of schools, has local shopping centre and 15mins in the car Robina and Pacific Pine shopping centre for the big shop
Getting a rental was a bit of a nightmare as they tend to do block viewings one house that we went to see had 20 cars outside. We was really lucky with the place we have rented, had a call from real estate went straight to it and said yes there and then offered 6 months rent up front and got it.
We've been looking at schools today and once we've made up our minds the kids should be in school on Monday if anyone else is here and has a school to recommend that would be great
We have found the people friendly and helpful, the weather is great...all in all we're enjoying the whole experience so far....even my daughter is starting to settle and she really didn't want to come.
If anyone wants any info just let me know and I'll try to help.

So they would pick us, there are lack of rentals where we are. We was lucky to be the first ones to see this place didn't want to lose it.
