Thanks for the response, Crawley and Horley seem to be the names popping up the most on Google etc. However they seem pretty small; I like Manchester, I live right in the centre and I think I will miss living in the middle of everything. I think I will book viewings for Crawley and Horley and take a short contract on a room there, so I can see for myself what it's like there and what Brighton and other places would be like to live and to commute to work from. Thanks for your help :-)
