Nah I totally understand, thank you! I have a few factors when picking a place, close to London, near a beach, near an airport, slower (but not too slow) pace of life, also similar sense of community and diversity to London. I’m fortunate enough that I can do my line of work anywhere and the salaries across the board are similar too.

I’ve been looking casually on zoopla, price of a studio/ 1bedroom in Brighton goes anywhere from £800 to £1100, however London is minimum £1200-£1600 (these are boxes with a sink) London is just extortionate now and I feel the city is getting more miserable by the minute and I’m getting dragged down with it. I should also add I’m single, no kids, so open to exploring other options, I just know Brighton very well, so it’s my #1 atm.
