Hi girlies,

Just wanted some advice really as I have been looking at renting a working flat soon. My top pick would be in a large city which is only a 30 minute drive for me and more convenient for punters I'm guessing so would be busy (or at least that's the hope!) However the traffic getting in and out of the city on the commute and the fact the prices are so much more expensive for renting left me wondering could I work in a smaller town/village just outside of the city for a fraction of the price?

The drive would be shorter, it would be cheaper but I'm worried being slightly more out of the way would deter punters to travel to me. And not to mention the added risk of the nosey neighbours!

Just wondering if anyone on here works from a small town/village and if so how do you find it? Do you still get enough clients willing to travel? Have you ever had any issues with neighbours at all?


Any pros and cons that you find either working from a city or a smaller town? I'm trying to decide and at the moment they are equal pegging!

Thanks girls

I worked in my village for six months through necessity and I wouldn't recommend it. Too many nosey neighbours.

It was also too far outside the main town for clients to travel to so I would definitely avoid.

There are men everywhere and plenty willing to travel, but I think good road or good public transport links to nearest cities and towns is essential. Oh and parking. Think these are more important when it comes to thinking about location.

I'd say it's more the location than the size in some ways. I'm in a smallish commuter town on the outskirts of London, near the M25, but it's quite anonymous and I'm easy to find.
