There is

- you
will probably find that it tends to be a more involved process
than you're used
to, so by reading our hints and tips, you could save yourself

Generally
the further out of London you live, the cheaper the rent.
This is fine if your work is in the
same area, but if working in central London, your costs will
further be hit by higher commuting costs.
