Where could I afford to live in, or in easy commuting distance to, London on c. £50k per year? Working near Farringdon and would just need a one bedroom flat - ideally within a 40 minute commute but happy to travel longer if it's simple (one train or tube). Don't know London at all but just been offered a job there -- not sure if I'll take it yet as I have a good job outside London and DH's career is also away from London. It is a really good opportunity but just not sure I can afford to take it and run the family home too (£850 mortgage plus bills and council tax - shared with DH) until DH can relocate. Would I be able to rent somewhere (modern 1 bed) on this income? Trying to work out if new job is financially viable based on our circumstances!
Further down the line -assuming DH could get a job earning a similar amount, where would we be able to afford a 2 or 3 bed place in a family area suitable for letting our cats outside to explore?!
Thank you for your help. Sorry I'm a totally clueless wannabe Londoner!!
