  1. Decide on your top priorities

Make a list of your ‘non-negotiables’ such as being close to a good school, within commuting distance to work, close to shops, near to a town with plenty to do, or in the countryside. This will help you to narrow down the best area for you and help you to stay focused.

  1. Consider your budget

  1. Keep an eye out for a helping hand
