Absolutely, thank you for that insight! Ill keep that in mind going forward.
Your logic is 100% valid and that's actually what everyone (inc. myself) have said but the main reason / concern is actually "financial" related. Especially with the current climate with rentals, nowhere is cheap. Even renting a bedroom and lodging in someone's house is around 600 - 700pcm! PPL takes around 3 - 4 months so I would be spend almost £3000 purely on rent alone and that's not including me spending on food etc.
I have relatives who live down south just outside London who are close to an aviation school hence why my plan was to just stay with them whilst I do my PPL then hour build somewhere (in UK or abroad - will figure out nearer the time) and then go / come back to the 2nd school for my advance stages of training right until the end. This method would save me quite a bit of money even though as you said, going to one school and do them in sequence would be the most ideal way!
I am still considering what to do
