• Moving to Edinburgh

  Forget the assholes on the thread. Get on rightmove.co.uk and https://www.athomeinedinburgh.co.uk/ at bare minimum. you will need an individual available within edinburgh to act as your representative as flat viewings are 100% required. Likely you will all need to be in tight communication around the time of your arranged viewings as often it's a literal race to sign agreements at the agency office if they... Source: 10 months ago

• What should I know or be aware of moving from america to England?

  - Renting in the UK is very difficult right now. There are far more tenants looking than available places, which means prices are high and competition very large. You may struggle due to your lack of history in the UK, which may mean you have to provide a guarantor (someone who promises to pay your rent if you stop paying) and/or pay 6-12 months of rent up-front. If you are looking for a vacant property to rent... Source: 10 months ago

• What would be the requirements to buy a flat in London?

  Look for house prices on rightmove.co.uk or zoopla.co.uk . Look at the price - you need 10% of the price as a deposit. Take the remaing 90% of the value and divide by 4, or 4.5 .. that's the salary you'll need to get a mortgage to cover that much money. Roughly. Source: 11 months ago

• Milldenhall PCS

  I am currently stationed at Mildenhall, and I came with three dogs during covid; just look on rightmove.co.uk and search for pets considered. Usually, the dogs will need to be approved, but we didn't have any issues. Source: 12 months ago

• what's a decent salary to live in southampton? I might come there to work and learn English 😇

  You can look at rightmove.co.uk for rent prices and different areas but yeah, you'd be able to live fine on £24k a year. I think on that I'd probably share with someone but I do go out a lot etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Finding a Rental

  You can try places like https://s1homes.com, https://rightmove.co.uk and https://zoopla.co.uk but I am not going to lie, finding a place that allows pets will be very difficult in the city. Most major letting agents will flat out refuse any pets, so you best bet is smaller agent (e.g. Western Lettings) and contacting landlords direct. Source: over 1 year ago

• House Security

  It's a mixture across the UK and that includes in Stockport - some people live in houses, some people live in houses divided into flats, some people live in blocks of flats (and some people live in other setups like caravans, house boats etc etc). If you pay a high price for a place in a block of flats, it might include a concierge/security service; it really just depends on each place. Some areas/streets are... Source: over 1 year ago

• Recommended Resources on First Time Home Buying?

  Once you have a budget (your budget should be available cash (minus any you want to keep back for fees or a post sale safety net) + 4.5x your yearly pre tax salary), you will want to start searching the market and do viewings. 99% of houses are advertised on rightmove.co.uk and zoopla.co.uk. You may also want to sign up for some Estate Agent's mailing lists as they will sometimes send out details a day or two... Source: over 1 year ago

• Quality of life in Helsinki vs London?

  These prices look pretty accurate to me. You can get a 1 or 2 bedroom flat from 3k upwards, but if you want a garden you're going to be paying much more. Have a look at sites like rightmove.co.uk for options. Keep in mind that conditions in UK are deteriorating fast. You'll be paying premium prices for everything. Make sure your company healthcare covers pre-existing conditions and dental, as the NHS is on... Source: over 1 year ago

• Lakenheath

  Try to live off base if you can and look at rightmove.co.uk before you get there to see what's available in some of the towns listed. Cambridge, Red Lodge, Bury is where a lot of people lived. Every thing is 220 and the base will give you a couple of transformers. Homes are generally smaller than US homes so if you see a place listed as a 3-bedroom. It's really a 2-bedroom and a closet. My home was a... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Work Secondment - Questions & Recommendations

  I've been into one of the studio flats in the Dandara Stoneywood development, and they're nice, clean and modern, but quite small for the cost. Also fairly heartless, in that it's a big set of apartment blocks and they all look the same. For your budget you could get a very decent one bedroom in a nice area close to town. Rosemount/west end are nice areas. Check rightmove.co.uk and aspc.co.uk . Source: almost 2 years ago
