[fat chance]

Even for a fresh graduate, 25 - 30k is a bit low for London. If you want someone with decent coding experience and all those skills you mention, you're talking 35 - 45k graduate, 40 - 60k for 2 yrs experience. For a first rate candidate you could add 10 - 20k to those numbers. Nothing will waste your money quite like hiring a second-rate inexperienced fresh graduate programmer who has spent the last six months being rejected from more lucrative positions.
