i live about 5 miles from eastleigh/southampton airport have lived here for all of my 37 years, there's loads of lovely villages in the radius you've given, and as with all areas there's a ton of ****holes too (pardon the language)
give me a shout if you find somewhere you like the sound of and i'll try to give you the lowdown |

Thanks guys for all the offers of assistance - great to see so many of us are down that way.
Had a chat with the airport general manager this morning, going to do the paperwork this week and then wait and see if I pass the initial sift.. |

What’s your budget? Before making suggestions we need to know what sort of price range we are talking about.
I can tell you lots of nice places to live if you have >=£1m!!! |

you'll get plenty with that budget. you can afford to be choosy and look for somewhere with exactly what you want. if your budget is 350k and are happy with 2 beds, lets say 3 you'll get a pretty good place in a rural area, away from the towns.
its just finding a place like that is hard if the job comes off and if you like pm me your address and i'll send you a copy of the local property paper so you can have a gander |

Just to resurrect this old thread:
I got offered the job at Southampton airport Been to see the airport GM today, for the handshake, sandwich and paperwork in the post. So, I'll be looking out for some of you in the new year - I expect to be working there sometime February. Meanwhile, I'm going to have to find a house. Budget and location unknown just now, but when I know I might be asking for some of you 'locals' for comments on the houses/places I like the look of. |

Congratulations on the job mate.
£300k should get you something half decent round these parts!
