Basically I am thinking about moving to London with all of my family but personally have very little knowledge of London. Therefore, 2 main questions I would like to ask:
1. What are the nice areas in London to live? I understand that this is a very broad question therefore I will narrow the criteria.
- It should be not in central London. Somewhere a bit outside.
- middle/upper middle class residents.
- Area for Family i.e. quiet, friendly, safe
- With many pubs, small shops but within reach of a supermarket
- With good connections to central London i.e. Tube, Bus, Rail
So far I was suggested Chiswick as it is only 10 miles outside central London and looks very decent.
2. And this is a legal question. Do you have to work in the UK (Pay income tax) in order to get mortgage? Or is it ok to earn your money elsewhere? What is the legal criteria for mortgage?
Thank you,
Andrey.
