I wrote a program to poll http://rightmove.co.uk within a subset of London area for houses that satisfied our criteria. Most restrictive criterion was having a garage, to make life better for our motorcycles. Garages are a lot more rare these days in London.

I'm in Vancouver now, great nature, beautiful city, great for kids, crazy expensive, fee opportunities, little tech, too chill, people not that ambitious, everyone just doing real estate, far from Europe where family is. Not sure I'll be here long term, but can't see alternative
