Moving – that which we seek (now with added reward!)

// November 2nd, 2009 // Personal

As referenced in the kitty post, the GGF and I are now on the hunt for a new place to live. Our requirements are pretty conservative but I though I’d list them here for reference and so I can give people a link to this page should they ask to assist us in the hunt.

Overview

We’re looking to move to fulfil one of the following goals:

• Considerable monthly savings in rent
• Considerably improved quality of property

Requirements

Must have / be:

• Parking for 1 car
• 2 x Cat friendly
• A fair whack of storage space
• sufficient space for small office setup (corner of a room is fine)
• No shared facilities (i.e. own bathroom!)
• Well insulated
• Dry!

Nice to have:

• Outside area
• 2 bedrooms
• More parking
• Space for a table in the living room / kitchen
• A-H quals

Location

Ideally looking for something in St Mary but will consider St John, St Ouen, St Lawrence, St Peter.

We’re prepared to consider anywhere for the right place!

Budget

Our current place is costing just over £1,200 per month for a fully furnished 1 bedroom, parking for 1 car plus bike, pet friendly etc.

• Current Rent: £1,083 p/m
• Current Utilities: £160 p/m
• Current Total: £1,243 p/m

We’re happy to meet our existing budget for the right property (although would really like to save a little on the utilities) but for a one bed we’d be looking at a guide price of £800 – £900 a month. To go up to the full £1,083 we’d be looking for 2 bed or very, very nice 1 bed place.

If you are aware of anywhere that might be suitable, please drop me an email (robert@xset.co.uk) or give me a call.

Anyone who successfully recommends the suitable property will be rewarded with a) the eternal gratitude of myself, the GGF and the two pussy hounds and b) a bottle half a case of something eminently drinkable!
