i have been considering a career move for the last couple of months as im getting a bit fed up of what ive doing now.

what would it be like working in london.

what i really want to know is how much income i'd need to live comfortably in the BIG city.

ive seen a couple of different jobs advertised there ive been interested in but want to know before i take the plunge and realise its not enough. there will be 2 of us.

cheers guys

it was harsh.....but fair

if you want roads to be paved with gold, you need to stump up the dosh....northerners dont understand that

Hmm, Lee - I'm from Cheshire - and its more posh than Essex up there by a long shot + house prices in the better part of Cheshire (ie not the scummy industrial bit that Insbro lives in) are more expensive than naff Essex

Typical 3 bed semi in Cheshire :

Semi-detached house
3 bedrooms 2 reception rooms 1 bathroom
£295,000

A quite superb semi detached which offers much more than you would at first realise! A full width extension has increased the living accomodation brilliantly to provide a large dining kitchen, itself fully fitted & incorporating many built in appliances.There are 2 separate reception rooms,Utitly room,3 good bedrooms & a bathroom with corner suite & shower.Its warmed by gas ch & has a large lawned garden makingit ideal for those with children.

dunno to be honest.....not as much as any of those

your point being?

lee

My point being....yours is a 3 bed semi is it not ?

If so, then £395k is not the cheapest in the area - therefore you are being somewhat selective in your choice of comparable are you not ?

for ****s sake

cheshire

loughton

Very selective choice there Lee (you are comparing a County with a Town)

Try :

Loughton (which is a town)

Wilmslow (which is a town)

i have a bee in my bonnet because this thread is becoming very vulgar and naff.

Please do digress ?

What has become "vulgar" about it ?

And please define "naff"

Substantiate your claim/comments ?

All I see is a jovial debate about North v South house prices

Thanks
