Alternatively, you could use Where Can I live [1] which does make use of TFL data to calculate and present locations to rent property which match your commuting time and budget requirements - made by the nice people at Nestoria [2] which is a vertical search engine for properties in the UK. That being said, good luck, like most people say, agents are not fun to deal with. Spiros [1] http://www.where-can-i-live.com/londonproperty [2] http://www.nestoria.co.uk
