Renting a place near work.

Renting a place near work.

I met up with an old colleague last week and after the initial ‘catch-up’ she told me that she was on her way to pick up the keys to her new flat which was a ‘five minute walk’ from her work place.

So that got me thinking, what would it be like to live near to your work place?

Well, the pros would be no more expensive public transport. What you save on Transport for London, you’ll pay extra on rent (especially if your new pad is in Central London). No more commuting, getting healthier by walking to-and-from work and hopefully, saving some cash along the way. Just imagine the thought of having an extra 30 minutes in bed, courtesy of being a stones throw away from the office? Not forgetting the amount of savings you can make by spending your lunch break at home. 

Of course there are the cons such as higher rental costs and no more lame excuses for blaming the trains for being late or heavy traffic. The added factor, and this can be seen either as a good or bad, is that you’ll be able to get into work that little bit earlier or stay later to get that presentation done or complete ‘that’ all important report.
