DH and I lived in Edinburgh for eight years (mainly as students) before moving to the South East about 5 years ago.
We've just been on holiday and have regained a bit of perspective on what we want to be doing. We've decided that we would love to move back up to Edinburgh. The practical considerations are as follows:
-
DH needs to find a job.
-
we will probably need to rent for a while (too difficult to buy from this distance).
-
we think we can afford approx £800-900 a month for rent (although this depends on what we can let this house for).
Soooo, what would be a good area for a young family? DCs are nearly 3 yo and 15 months. We'd like to be central. Marchmont would be idea, I think...but we weren't really tuned into family life when we were in Edinburgh, so maybe you lot can advise me
Where do we look for rented properties? I've tried ESPC but there's almost nowt! Not even if I search with an unlimited £ pcm.
Rally looking forward to hearing what you have to say
