house hunting

Its that time of year, and as I have never done this before, its kind of exciting, but also quite scary. I have just given my last essay, so nothing to do now for three weeks! (I will be doing some kind of work, I promise!) So, more time can be spent on all important house hunting. I'm just a bit wary of landpeople trying to fleece us, by getting us to spend some extortionate amount for a pile of pooh house. I have seen some really nice houses, but others that I have seen I didn't like at all. The good thing (one of them!) about being at CU is that you get to know where the good houses are located. There are some real gorgeous ones on a road called whipcord lane (sounds a bit grim!) but I know that they are massive too, and we only want one with three bedrooms in it, so unfortunately thats out of the question. Hopefuly one of my good mates will get one of those :) so that I can go and visit quite a lot :) Anyways, any advice from those who have been in this situ before, will be very much appreciated! :)

woah!! isn't it a bit early for house hunting?
I thought you didnt have to do that until like the summer term? I think that's what we are planning to do...maybe we should earlier? Or maybe london is different...hmmm...may have to ask a few people!!

Yeah, its a bit weird, maybe it is different in London, but its a good idea to start early, everyone has to be sorted out around about now, but I dont know whether i'm comfortable with who i'm gonna be possibly living with at the mo, cos we're finding it hard with just three of us, but now there might be 6 of us (3 girlls 3 guys) and im not sure that it will work out, but we're gonna have a meal together this week (I think) to work out logistics etc!
