Hunt for a home (part 2)
We both stared at different parts of the same paper; I looked at the period properties whilst my wife concentrated on the new homes. We had to compromise somewhere along the line, otherwise the day may end up as a waste of time.
We could try a third route, one that shelved the permanent move for now and let us find temporary accommodation. The plan was to rent somewhere that would take us away for the large city, giving us the opportunity to search at our leisure for a new place. We both agreed that the idea could have some mileage, so we concentrated our efforts within the section over the page called Property to let West Sussex. it covered a large and substantial area, much broader than I had previously imagined. But if we could find something with easy access to the main railway line, I would still be able to get to work.
We weren’t bothered by the need to find a suitable parking area, only a flat with the right amount of space. The newspaper showed that the town had a poor section on flats to rent in Sussex, which surprised me. Because the town was set close to the sea and had a rich tradition, I thought there would be an abudance of sites. What I might consider doing is checking online for possibilities, or even advertising on websites such as Gumtree.
It was a sensible idea, but I wasn’t about to abandon my dream Victorian terraced house quite so soon. You could still find a reasonbly priced house in Worthing as opposed to those in Brighton or Hove, which had raced away over the years. My search was going to continue so I made a quick note of some of the local phone number for Property Sussex. I would save these for later when we returned home, and were able to relax and think of our day.
