Do you love where you live?

Good area?

Is it where you wanted to settle?

Where would you change location too if you could?

So many questions

Depends I grow up here

But the place has a very bad reputation for being rought and a shit hole

And known for fighting and such and other bad things

And not just one area off the place it’s the hole place

But mind you it’s a village I stay it

But again I grow up here so I don’t find it that way

also find people outside the place treat you differently

Ooo whare are you from bl bl bl bl

Fuck that that place is a shit hole

Wouldn’t bother saying anything to him or cusing trubble with that one they from bl bl bl he’s a doge one

But to me it’s a Normal place as sed I grow up here

But will say being from a rought place I don’t find anywhere scary or anything like that

T loves the house we live in. I’ve fallen out of love with it. Can’t afford to do what needs doing to it (or what I would like to do to it) so making do for now. It’s a good sized family house, the perfect area, has everything we need but our needs will be changing later this year…..

I’ve found a house I’d like to move to but more money for far less square metres - the market is nuts!!!

Love is a strong word but it's been okay so far.

It works for location purposes

Where would you change location too if you could?

I live my county, I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

The town I currently live in is okay, not the most exciting but quite pretty, it was where I could afford at the time.

Would love to move closer to the coast in the future

It's really quite cute. Villagey. Ruralish. Beautiful countryside, lovely woods opposite.

It's not where I ever saw myself settling. I always thought I'd live in Cults to be honest.

In about four years, I'd like to buy a house in a town further North. Fallen in love with a particular road, which is daft isn't it? It's a lovely town. And far more going on then where I am at the moment.

Perfect. I'll start a campaign to armour the local bears, which should prove nicely controversial, and we can learn how to ice-carve in the long winter evenings.

Yes I do! I feel very lucky to live in such a beautiful place, on the Shropshire side of the Welsh border, mountains and beach a short drive away, Liverpool an hour away, Manchester and Birmingham just over an hour.

This is the area I grew up in.

If I were to relocate it would be London to be close to my boy

Not a bad place where I live… only problem is there’s not really much around. Either you have to drive or take a train to the nearest city to go to a nightclub or do a proper pub crawl. Nearest spicy club is a train ride and taxi the other way so all in all, it’s a lovely place but boring and going downhill…

I’m lucky as have two, ones a 2 minute walk to the beach and in the centre of a thriving welsh town, plenty of hills and mountains a stone throw away. The other is where I spend the majority of my time, housing estate, not my cup of tea but was my first property. It’s close to my friends and family hence why I’ve stayed here

Love the area it’s gorgeous with great links only 30/45 mins drive away. But the people are far to up their own arse for my liking. I’d love to move to a more humble surrounding. But that means the kids education suffers. So here we shall stay. I don’t mind being an outcast. Find it quite comical the looks I get when I talk

Town centre is awful, it died a death about 8yrs ago.

I've never really been happy here, stayed as kids were happy at school/jobs/ hone etc.

Thankfully I'm near the countryside and I go for lovely walks to escape the norm.

Now my kids are all grown up and only 1 still living at home, I'm looking to move away. Even thinking of going aboard to live.

The area we live in is known as "where the forest meets the sea", so we get the best of both worlds. Numerous upsides, including there's nothing here for teenagers to do so they go elsewhere. Very few downsides, apart from being delayed on journeys through the forest by the donkeys, cows and ponies standing in the middle of the road licking the salt from the gritters. But that's not really a downside

Love the forest…

It's beautiful at every time of the year. Coming up, we have foaling season - loads of the cutest calves, pony and donkey foals that you'll ever see, nibbling on the bright yellow gorse. "

I try to get there a few times a year…

North West

"Do you love where you live?

Good area?

Is it where you wanted to settle?

Where would you change location too if you could?

So many questions

Love it? Not particularly. It's alright.

Good area? Like any, has its good and bad bits.

Where we wanted to settle? Dunno, it was just cheap-ish and near family, when we finished uni. Seemed a sensible place to settle.

Change location? Hopefully will be doing soon, when we get our bungalow. Only moving areas a bit (4-5 miles) because we can't afford or find a suitable bungalow in this area. Chose the house not so much the area.

Do you love where you live? Yes

Good area? Yes a nice area of town.

Where would you change location too if you could? Ok where I am. Dorset would be a second choice.

Chams or Socials

I’ve found a house I’d like to move to but more money for far less square metres - the market is nuts!!!

Sounds like you need to stay where you are and get the renovations done…. Remortgage ? Use the equity? Lots to be said for extra metres

I think this will be what we do. We have lots of equity luckily - mortgage due up in June so time to start looking at options. Was hoping not to borrow more but no choice really

Dubai & Nottingham

I bought a house a couple of years ago to be near my ex , my family, and grown up kids.

It’s a very nice area but I’d much rather be by the sea. I’m only there 50% as I work in other countries 50%.

I don’t love the area but I love the people I’m near and that’s more important to me.

Newcastle upon Tyne

Love living in Newcastle we knew this was where we were going to settle down when we arrived on Tyneside in 2000. It is a vibrant city with a lovely coastline within 15/20 minutes of where we live. Then we have the countryside all around us and so much history to boot.

If we could change one thing it would be that it was a bit warmer, the winters are bloody cold, but then we did come to Tyneside off the back of three years living in Italy

I like where I am now. I would move to a nicer house if I could, but I would like to stay in the same area.
