Oh because Clifton is a far safer place ...
It is.
Please correct me if im wrong here (maybe its just in Scotland)
One of my good mates is due to graduate this year. Upon graduating (if i can remember correctly) he said that if he is willing to work anywhere in the country he is entitled to a grant to help him relocate.
I assume you guys are entitled to the same thing?

Lol! Thanks for the advice and suggestions, giving me some good perspectives and places to look at! Exactly what I was after thankyou! 
I think that's more to do with if your job means you have to move, a relocation grant.
If you just decide that you don't want to live somewhere that's your choice.

The original post states £42,000 combined with no indication of whether that is gross or net, from that you can assume either way. I don't know exactly what teachers start on hence highlighting that I hadn't taken account of tax or deductions in case that was gross.
Twas only joking lived in Clifton myself when I was at Bristol Uni have happy memories of spending all my evenings at the Old Duke. Great pub great days.

Matters not when you are walking home happy does it not! I mean the one thing you have to get used to in Bristol is all the hills. You can't just drink where you live you know have to get out now and then!
Semi-pro waster, you've got me thinking about my living situation a bit more now. Soon to be renting a ~£725pcm property on a combined net income of £27,000 (after tax/deductions). That's 33% of our income gone on rent and not including bills.
If you want to spend £600pcm on a nice place to rent - stick in the midlands or venture north, for better value for money. I can happily sing the praises for places like SW Sheffield, N Leeds and York if you head north.

Malvern in Worcestershire.
Beautiful area, decent town, easy access to Worcester and Birmingham. Lots of primary schools in this area and 2 high schools in Malvern and 1 just out of Malvern. Plus the ones in Worcester as well.

To earn 42k net they would need to be earning about 67-68k gross, that's 33-34k per person for a new starting teacher.
I'd get on to that if that was true!!!
I see what you mean but I assumed the other way, no way newly qualified teachers are earning that much net!!

The minimum starting wage for a teacher currently is 21,000 so, doubled 42,000 this would be without any deductions to begin with x
Take home after everything including pensions will be about £1250 pcm/pp.
So £600 is still less than 25% of the take home (combined).
