is 2-4.5 on the lower/higher or normal side would you say?

No idea depends what size of joint they are looking for, but here's an idea what you can get....

4.5 is going to get you a very nice flat in the places I mentioned.  Maybe not Hampstead?  We used to pay a third of that near Northcote Road and in Putney, but those times are long gone.  Guess you'd be paying 2.5/3 for a nice 2 bed flat these days.

Edit.  Just checked, there are some nice places for 2kish in wandsworth/putney.  4.5k probably get you a riverside penthouse in some developments

the couple were looking specifically for a house with a garden.

thanks for your messages doobs, v helpful

Tikay is right, Richmond/ bushy park is lovely,  but very expensive! I live down on Kent, still a pricey part of the world but decent train lines into the city, the fast train from ashford international is 34 mins!
If he's happy for a commute, normal train is an hour from ashford etc into Charing Cross, but obviously much cheaper than the fast train!
Good place to bring up a family too. A friend of mine has just rented a new build in tenterden, which is upmarket, and I think it's 2/3 bed and paying £900 a month plus bills rent.

Just filter my link by house/garden etc you can see what's there....

I did Twickenham +1 mile, you can search each area, or get your friends to do it. Loads of nice places for their budget...

Thanks everybody for the very nice replies.

The thread is actually for me and my gf isn't polish and we have 3 dogs. I just didn't want much bias in the post from those who may know me. Have sent off a lot of emails tonight and hopefully will come visit this month to look.

If there are any other areas an hour max to London like what vern spoke about also very welcome.

Thanks again very much and look forward if anybody else has any last suggestions.

First beer on me in London!

St albans, Berkamstead and a few other leafy chic places in Hertfordshire.  25-30 mins by train to London.  Worth a look imo

A matter of opinion but in your shoes specifically I would go ahead and choose West London e.g. Kingston, Wimbledon, Fulham, Putney. Outside of London is still relatively convenient and nice but there's a vibe to living inner city that you just can't put a price on, especially while you are still in your 20's. There will always be loads going on that will never feel too far away.

If you find you're not too bothered about that and mostly just want to stick your head down and grind with the option to venture into London then St. Albans and nearby parts of Kent are good ideas to explore.

Teddington or Hampton Wick are ideal for Bushy Park which the dogs would abso love.

Quite a few of my younger colleagues with young kids live in Clapham and like it. No idea what prices are like.

West London bias for me too as I live here. Add Chiswick and Richmond to the list. Not cheap but great places to live, with lots of parks for the dogs, and easy access to central London. Ben Grundy...I presume is still pokering.... has a lovely house in Chiswick.

Are the dogs more important than being close to tubes/easy transport links?

This house is possibly too big and top of budget?....but has a great garden ....and next to the wonderful Richmond Park!

Not sure if you are aware of this but since you are not "employed" as such with proof of income you can expect to prepay your rent 6 months in advance for most quality properties as you indicate.

Even paying 12 months rent in advance won't guarantee that someone will accept you as a tenant. Couple that with the fact you have 3 dogs. It could be tricky to get a property.
