  1. Which part of the Thames do you recommend? What's wrong with living in central London on a boat? Other than all the other problems that London gives! (I do love London, however I like being able to visit and then go back to somewhere peaceful where you can get about more freely. It's the Mrs who's dead set on moving back.
  2. hahaha OK great! To be honest that's all I'd need, I've only just realized the "residential" issue isn't really a lack of space on the canal/river as I had thought but more a council problem! Why didn't anyone mention this option sooner!?
  3. I just spoke to a marina and they said they don't have residential moorings, however they don't keep tabbs on how often you stay either. So reading between the lines I'm assuming I can live there, as long as I keep a low profile and have a second address for post etc (Which i do, I've moved about so much and always had my permanent address down as my parents house). Is this common? Would I be far less pressed to find a leisure mooring with an understanding landlord? Is this frowned upon or fairly common practice? OldGoat Who would I need to speak to in order to discuss mooring at Shepperton lock?
  4. Wow! What an overwhelming respinse so quickly! Thanks everyone What is an "unofficial liveaboard"? Basically just mooring up with the land owners permission but without telling EA or anyone and hoping nobody notices or complains? I'm in no rush at all, this is all just theory at the moment. Basically I'm fed up with renting and want to have my own place, however as a freelancer I know I won't be in Surrey forever and my girlfriend and I eventually would like to move to London. So I'm looking to buy a sailaway and doing it up to a really high spec and when the move to London comes we can just sail on down and move my perfect home wherever I need to be. I appreciate it's really not that simple, but I have plenty of time to get on waiting lists and plan everything properly. So let me get tis straight, it is possible, allbeit a challange, I'd pay 50% of a local residential mooring fee to EA? so say £3,500 annually, then which type of license would I need for being on the thames? is that legally all I'd need, then add whatever the land owner wants? Thanks for all the responses so far! Much appreciated
  5. Hi, I'm looking into moving onto a widebeam in the Surrey (Surbiton) area. I've heard residential moorings are hard to come by, so I'm wondering if it's possible to find a local farmer or land owner, with land backing onto the Thames and renting a mooring off them? What license would I need? Would the land owner need planning permission? What else would I and the land owner need to stay legal? Thanks Andy
