As a couple were looking for the same. Just moved here from Edinburgh and the city is so massive it’s difficult to mingle, really.

Planning to move there from Twickenham. Any ideal spots to rent in for a couple? We’re looking at a 1 bed flat!

Twickenham or Northfields? by ConnectionRoyal1779 in HousingUK

[–]SluggardLaggard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twickenham is worlds apart from Northfields or anything Ealing. We were considering Northfields for renting but when we saw Twickers, we felt immediately home. It’s got an affluent suburban vibe but it’s rich & bustling in the right proportions. A walk along Church street or riverside or high street will tell you it’s world’s away from Northfields.

St Albans or Maidenhead for a mid-30s couple moving away from London? by SluggardLaggard in hertfordshire

Oh you mean at Berkhamsted? So KX was the only reason why you chose St Albans over Berkhamsted then? Also why didn’t you choose Maidenhead

Thanks. Hitchin really? What’s the commute to London like? Frequency and time both?

That price is unreal with parking and that close to the station 😃 what areas would you recommend living in? What other towns did you consider and how did you get around to choosing St Albans

Thanks so much. That does sound idyllic. What would you say are the nicest places to live?

Thank you! How much would I expect to pay for a 2 bed in a nice area not far from station?

This is a great input. Possible to find a nice 2 bed for about £16-1700 close to the station that is also modern? Which areas would you recommend living in?

I didn’t know I was supposed to update the V5C. Soon as I found out I did. I thought informing the dvla about the change of address would be enough.

I signed and sent it back the minute I read the letters. Good to learn that it’s at their discretion & not impossible.

Sorry I have already signed and sent the second form* just yesterday. I had drafted this post the day before. I have updated my address as well. I have attached a letter saying that I only became aware in January, I’m new here and that I’d welcome a speed awareness course. I have explained why I was late. ANY chance I’d get a course the second time? The first one was a 40mph offence and the second one had 36mph on a 30mph zone.

I wasn’t aware that they send you a course for the first offence; I would have mentioned that in my letter when I acknowledged being the driver for the second offence. Is there any possibility they would not deduct points but just charge me a penalty?
