Thanks for sharing your flat hunting journey in the UK. We also moved here from PH years ago and even back then, it was a challenging experience trying to get one.

Could you also share flats and their locations? I am also looking for a 2-bedroom apartment in a high-rise building near London, with a travel distance of 30 to 40 minutes.

You started off well, but having a channel with a high SEO score can really help boost your subscribers and views. Can I send you an SEO audit report that will help you?
