The BBC have produced a 'where can I afford to live' calculator - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23234033

Might be useful for checking out potential areas.

LOVE this website 
http://www.locrating.com

Great help if you are relocating with children and so schools are important to you. You can search/map schools by ofsted rating and also check train commute times.

Wish I'd found it sooner!

Hi Rebs,

Thanks for the link it was really helpful and saved me quite a lot of time. I've still got to try and open a bank account prior to my arrival, does anyone know if this is possible or would I need to be in the UK to open it? 

Rebs, I don't suppose you have anymore links up your sleeve haha 

Thanks, James.
