We've been looking for a flat now that we know where Nick will be working. The rental market is such that nice flats get snapped up quickly since a lot of people can't get mortgages to buy homes. We've had a couple of flats snapped up out from under us (in one case less than 2 hours after we went to see it). Finally, we have found a flat that we really like that no one had applied for before we did. It's in a village in Oxfordshire which is really lovely, and there's a pub next door to the property that is really charming and has great cider and what Nick called "the best pint of Brakspear Bitter" he's ever had.
We're on pins and needles to find out if we've gotten the place.
Musings of a Canadian who has moved with her husband to England. Likely to be full of stories of me greatly offending those around me via many cultural foibles. Hopefully some happy stories of how wonderful our new life is.
Ah, yes, but will the added cost of a daily pint of Brakspear Bitter make the flat unaffordable? ;-)
