Some useful info i have to agree, but a warning to leomar

I looked at a few of the web sites and some were useful but still the prices are a few months out. Some were a year out or more so be careful to compare the prices in each one.

Also the rental prices quoted will be way out i would have thought from a quick glance at the local as most of the buy to let landlords mortages are more than the rents and loads of propties are coming onto the market as people try to rent out their propety to pay the mortage.

From what i hear its bedlam out there and thats from rental agency owners and former buy to let landlords and those still in the market.

agree with andypaul's caution

with regards to the last point, for the very first time I have heard about renters being evicted when the property they are renting were foreclosed

with regards to the visa, try the immigrationboard.com and go to the UK section. it has a general UK section and a tier 1 section (Highly Skilled Migrant Programme) which may provide you more information. as andypaul noted on his earlier response, the banking industry is in midst of a financial storm (come to think of it, it might be boom times for your area of speciality).

best of luck with getting the City job and do keep us in mind you get your annual City bonus libre naman par oh!!! joke lang noh hehehehe
