My self and Mrs socks are contemplating relocating away from south east London for a better way of life and I’m interested to see who has done it and what advice they would give. It will be in around 2 years time and we are fortunate to be in jobs where HID works 80% of the time home based with only two commutes a month to twickenham south west London required. I’m predominantly field based so location transfer within the same company is already approved as I flagged this in my interview.
so far we have looked at south wilts, or north east Dorset solely because of transport links, value for money and potential work opportunities from surroundings city's. ideally looking for something villagey with towns close by (15-20mins) and then between cities. North east Dorset ticks a lot of boxes being centrally located between Bristol, Swindon, Southampton reading, bath etc for me being field based with pretty good links into the capital for the misses, We have looked more into Kent also (tonbridge, tunbridge wells, crowborough) but you get less for your buck and ideally looking to remain with the same size house with a smaller mortgage.
our plan was to pick some certain areas and then spend a year or two having air b&b breaks to get a feel for areas before just upping and going.
Anyone else done similar?
