Moving to London - need help by bengu89
I'm considering moving to London, but since I live in Norway I really don't have any idea where to start! Anyone know if there are any good websites where I can find applications for cheap rental apartments and/or jobs? My plans are to move to ...
I agree with zakpotts. Definitely come down and take a look at the flats/properties before even paying a deposit. Photos can look real misleading. If you are still looking for London Accommodation, you might want to check out the London ... Read More
Relocation agency London by roselilylou
Bonjour, Could anyone recommend me a good and reliable relocation agency, for a family of 5 persons moving from Germany to London ? Thank you in advance !
Hello Rose, this might be a moot point but would your (or your partner's) firm recommend a relocation agent? The thing is that my experience with relocation agents wasn't really pleasant to say the least as I have to read up lots of information on ... Read More

Hey Edgars, Warm welcome to London! I guess the main deciding factor when it comes to selecting where to live is your monthly budget. It's not only the rent but council tax, utilities and transport too. All that quickly adds up (but I'm sure ... Read More

Hi musicmad, it really depends on your budget. It looks as if you aren't too concern about the size (which is a plus, I suppose). To get an indicative price, you might like to check out London Property Watch. Of course, there are other factors as ... Read More

Hi all, An anyone advice on this one, can we able to survive in Singapore if your monthly salary is SD2000?
Hello David, May I know whether 2k is your take home pay? If so, it depends on why you're in S'pore for. I mean, if you're into backpacking, being based in S'pore does allow you to backpack to nearby countries relatively cheaply so you'll probably ... Read More

We are relocating to London with our 3-year-old twins due to my husband's job transfer. He'll be working in Canary Wharf. I would like some advice on some family-oriented neighborhoods that are still close to dining and shopping. Also, would ...
@nytouk, I'm very tempted to suggest Primrose Hill area. Not only there are some nice high streets in the vicinity (very family orientated), it's also near to Camden Town in the event that you would like to let your hair down every now and then. :) Read More

Moving to London and having a problem... by paula.giacchino
Hi all, My husband and I are moving to London in August and we are having trouble with a particular situation. We are not able to open a Bank Account until we arrive at London and, apparently it will take almost a month to be finally opened so we ...
Erm, this might be a moot point but have you considered bringing some cash over in cashier's order? We did bring quite a bit over (yes, I know...) when we first arrived and our bank acct wasn't ready yet. Hope you get this sorted out eventually. Read More
