There are lots of studies[1] by various groups that say Windows defender is just as good and alternative AV is no longer needed. I also recall seeing that non Windows defender AV's cause significant performs problems although I can't find a reference.
We're back to "that's where all the well paying jobs are"; given that they spent £750k on the land before even building the house, they probably can't maintain that lifestyle with a non-London job, and commuting in from greater distance is pretty gruelling.
High-density urban living is far better for the environment than rural. People usually live in less space, and with far less outside surfaces, reducing energy usage for heating and cooling. Distance to work, shopping, and other destinations is shorter, and use of public transport is far higher. Far less land is wasted on manicured single-family lawns rarely used. Density also allows sharing of rarely used manufactured goods between a neighbors or via renting (power tools, washing machines, even cars).
Thanks. I downloaded Boreal on this recommendation and have paid the 99p premium upgrade because after trying a few clients it is far superior. Also after lurking for years long this is the first comment I’ve ever made!
