First of all many thanks to anyone who reads this post,
I am currently looking into moving to NC, the area in which would be near Raleigh, Sanford to be precise. What a beautiful part of the world, beats Nottingham in England any day. Anyway, due to family illness's my wife, who is from Sanford, wishes to come back home to look after her older family members and with this i am trying to find as much information as possible about the printing industries around the area. After many hours of research i have found many a company that i can post my applications to, but little on the lines of reputation. I have been told about something called the "RTP" or is it "TRP", retail triangle park. Anyone know of this place and what it has to offer etc. Are there areas i need to avoid due to low employment etc.
I am quiet away from filling out the forms for Visa's but like to get as much information as soon as possible to make life easier when these situations do occur. Are there any big business i should be looking for, any business i should not be looking for, at the minute i have a lot of information to try and filter through. Any information will be useful and i know that you people of North Carolina are very helpful people.
Again, many thanks for your time in reading my post, i hope to hear from as many of you as possible. I will keep checking back to see if any of you lovely people have left me anything, if so expect a response.
Will check out the links you gave me, some useful stuff to go through already, many thanks to you all. I have looked around for employment news and it looks like a lot of business's do not go for outside people eg people who are relocating. I think i may have to bite the bullet when the time comes and just take a gamble to move and find a job after i have moved.
Can anyone tell me what the average house price is like in this area, i know different houses command different prices but i have heard of the house price crash in the states and wanted to know what the knock on effect has been like on the prices. Is there a good time for buying houses eg seasonal or is it pretty competitive all year round.
Sorry for a lot of answers but i am trying to cover as much as possible as moving from one country to another is obviously a tricky and risky business. Again, many thanks for your time and hope you are all well.
It's a good time to buy now! Check out one of the web sites such a realtor.com or homes.com and do map or zip code search to see what you can get for your money. I've found hpw.com to be useful as well. Good luck!
Many thanks again for your kind input into my question. It is really nice to see that people have spent time reading and also leaving helpful links to company websites. Found the Yellow Pages very useful but there is nothing better than personnal opion.
Got an idea of getting a map of the local area and pinning the local print works to find where most are situated, hopefully helping with the descision of where to buy/rent our house.
I have been reading this forum and found many of the topics very useful, from what the locals have to say about what is going on, to what people recommend in dental and medical. I am interested in your tax system but that will have to be addressed in a different topic on this forum.
From a greatful Englishman, thankyou the people of this forum for your input.
