Well, as the title suggests, I'm looking for some suggestions.
Currently we're living near Hastings on the South East coast and I work part time in London meaning a commute of almost 2 hours at an annual cost of just over £4,500. My wife has just started working full time in Bristol and we're now looking for options.
If we all move to Bristol and I then commute to London from there, the journey time is about the same but the rail cost jumps to just over £11,000 which would mean that my part time job wouldn't be worth doing as my net salary would pretty much all go on the rail fare.
We're thinking about moving somewhere mid way-ish between London and Bristol so that both of us would have a reasonable and affordable commute (ideally a direct commute with no changes needed).
We're looking for somewhere nice, with good schools and with rental prices at a decent level (budget would be about £1000pcm for a min 3 bed family house).
Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Thanks for the help!
