Smile Moving to UK from South Africa

Hi all

I am in the process of applying for a HSMP visa.

I have a few questions i am hoping some of you could answer and provide advice on.

1. What are the decent/affordable areas to live in, specifically in London?
2. What would a 1 bedroom apartment generally cost in London?
3. Would you advice i apply for a job while is SA or when i get to the UK (I would first like to get my Visa before applying for a job)?

I would appreciate any advice in general about living and working in the UK.

Thanks and hope you all have a awesome weekend.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

A good website to look at for properties in London is Properties for sale, homes to rent, overseas property, retirement properties and new homes on rightmove.co.uk and they cover the whole of the UK. A good area is going to be expensive, but I would recommend NW London and parts of North London, such as Highgate and Muswell Hill to begin with.

Regards

Michelle
