<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>In having been stung with a property we rented in Stevenage which was a flat
<BR>no bigger than most peoples kitchen, the contract market is very slow and in
<BR>being made 'redundant' from companies, the actual base is never London as
<BR>what will buy a detatched in the countryside with 3 to 4 hours traveling is
<BR>for those with families to consider. I have yet to find rented accommodation
<BR>that is under £500 per month that is a desirable residence and not just a
<BR>square box with a door. Interested to know of of the finds better than
<BR>estate agents have found so far. Jobs are not a secure position and it costs
<BR>to live in London, however, Kensington and Knightsbridge is nice if one lives
<BR>away from the traffic. </FONT></HTML>
