Moving home
I live in a one bedroom flat close to Heathrow airport, was worth £88,000 when I purchased it around 2002 as a single man. Now married with a thirteen month old baby I have outgrown the place. I had it valued today, now worth £200,000-£210,000
To buy a two bedroom place around here is not within my price range unless I win big on the lottery... So we have been looking further out, Leicestershire to be precise as we have friends there, and Harlene likes it when we have visited.... That and I can buy a 3 bedroom house and have change left has made our minds up... So hopefully in the coming months I shall be leaving London and my job I've been in for 11 years and make a fresh start.... Hopefully finding a job won't be too hard!Last edited by Arthur Little; 12th March 2016 at 02:00. Reason: First word in title capitalised.

Good choice. We live in S Leicestershire and moved here from Buckinghamshire, twice the house for the same money. Good access to the M1 and I can be physically sitting on a plane at Birmingham airport within an hour of leaving the house. I don't miss LHR!

I would never move from Yorkshire.
Beautiful peaceful place. No traffic jams . Affordable property. Good weather, as on the 'dry' side of the Pennines. Same or better services as London (where I have worked). Same salary = more pocket money, better lifestyle.

That is part of the reason that the M1 can have me back in London in 2 hours in an emergency.
We are looking in areas around syston, Sileby and Melton mowbray. Helps my friends wife knows the area well and is giving us the thumbs up or down on the areas we are seeing houses we like

Oh, and I live 3 miles from the A1, and 4-5 from the M62 and M1.
I also have stations on the main rail lines to London and to Manchester within walking distance of my house.

The property market was/is great for those making money out of it.
Ask the people comfortably retired in Spain or Portugal... on their lucky windfalls, or the estate agents who retired at 40.
It's the present generation of youngsters who've had the carpet pulled from under them by the greedy and selfish people who set the housing crisis ball rolling.

Melton etc. is a bit far out For me. Look at Lutterworth and Blaby. Nice small towns with good access. Waitrose stores in each too I drive to Rugby station for London trains - 48 mins non stop to Euston.
Market Harborugh is nice, but more expensive.

Applied to be a postman! Not what I want, but need a job to go to when I move there.
Applied online and they email you these tests you take online... pass them and they invite you for an interview I believe.... so see if they contact me now.
