OK - cheers for your help guys. The ones regarding the whole place being a dump are hardly constructive and suggesting I don"t bother aren"t great as I"ve got to. I have the job.
I"ll take a look at what there is to offer. I have a mate who is from (and still) St Albans. I will have a look at the places you guys have suggested! It cannot be much worse than living in the centre of Nottingham.
Regarding the job, it is working for a motorsport media company.
Helpful responses. Thanks. I formally accepted the job. I have 4-6 weeks to sort everything out. Thankfully I'm working for an absolutely awesome company and get to go to most motorsport events so can't be bad being paid to do a hobby and I'm sure I'll find somewhere just as good as Nottingham in or around the area. Within a 20 minute drive is fine. I don't start until 9.30am when in the office anyway so avoid school traffic etc.
Yes, you're in the same boat as me, moving from Notts>Hatfield (ish) - bit of a coincidence. What is your confusion? My replies are related to the non helpful posts above! Hopefully we'll find somewhere equal to our current surroundings
That's good to know. well, there will only be the two of us. I'd really like to spend no more than £700/pcm. I was hoping for £500 but Iimagine that will get me a dump. 20 minutes commute is nothing, I can happily cope with that!
St Albans is apparantly a little more costly? My old uni housemate is running a pub there (having lived there all his life) and he says it's a nice area, just slightly more.
The only other problem, despite moving down is finding my girlfriend a job. She has a 2.1 from Leicester in a life science and would be happy doing any old office job. Even if it's just temping until she finds something permanent!
I'm happy to live anywhere really. We are both from the same tiny village so used to villages. If it's cheaper to live outside the towns then that's fine! I just need to know where to look
Excellent. Thanks for the info chaps. I'm googling for letting agents. Some of the results are pretty drab. I'll see what I can get. We don't mind where we live really, so long as it's a reasonably nice area with about a 20min drive max to Hatfield that would be fine.
