Really need help ASAP! We have overgrown our London house and made a decision to move out of the area (and London)
. We have been looking for about 2 years now and finally narrowed our search to 2 (or 3) areas: St Albans, Harpenden and Guildford. We have 3 young children, a live-in nanny (who doesn't drive), husband works in London (and hopefully I will be back at work in London soon).. I have never lived outside the big city so need life, shops and kiddie stuff around me. We also need good commute to London and good jr and sr state schools. All the above places seem to tick those boxes. House prices also seem to be very similar. We know people in St Albans / Harpenden but not really in Guildford. How do we chose which place to concentrate in??? Am I missing any other criteria? May be any of you lived in the above areas and could shed some light? We sold our house in London and need to move out in the next 6 weeks. Looks like we will end up renting for awhile but would love to rent in the area we will eventually buy. Please help!!
