Area Guides - Where To Live
Welcome to our area information section!! This focuses on South-East England, and is intended
to be a brief guide for expatriates on the best locations to live. To help you
with the process of deciding where to start house hunting, we stock a full range
of maps & guides for South East
England. Maps for other areas are available on request within two or three working
days. We can ship map & guide packs internationally by courier if required.

Users
of our relocation services can
opt to take advantage of our tailor-made Area Orientation programme, a half-day
tour with a relocation counsellor that will help you to decide your target search
area. All of our transferees receive a full info pack that contains all the maps
and guides that you'll need whilst house hunting.
Your first task is to decide where to start house hunting!!
Our suggestions to help you with this are:
- Get hold of a small scale map that covers the whole region that you're considering.
- Mark on it your place(s) of work, and any other places that you'll need to get to regularly
e.g. airports, or schools (if you know them yet)
- Decide what is an acceptable journey time to work. This web site has information on Motoring
and also on Public Transport
with many useful links.
- Zoom in on some potential locations, and review our guides.
For ease of reference, our area information for South East England is split geographically.
