Hi Kev,
In nearly exactly the same boat as you as I have an internal interview next week that is going to determine whether I move out around mid November time. (General consensus amongst our management is the job's mine but I still gotta see). So I can fully understand the overwhelmed feeling and flying rapidly between massive excitement and complete fear...
Coincidentally, I am on the internet today looking at serviced apartments with a view to taking one for a month or so before signing on an apartment. I was also fortunate enough that my company sent me out in early September so I could get a feel for the place and scope things out. Managed to get in touch with a REALLY helpful property agent, I'll PM you the details.
In your position I would definitely look at Kowloon side, you're going to have to be in work every day and will not necessarily be in LKF and Soho every day so getting to work should be your priority. Even if you're out in LKF and miss the last MTR, it's really easy to get a taxi back and still pretty cheap (well, by UK standards anyway). Although not LKF, there is a lot of bars and decent restaurants around TST and it does have a different night scene. Plus being a first time visitor (and staying on the Kowloon side), I thought it great fun to get the ferry across on nights out... Can't do that where I live at the moment.
