My PIL are selling their ex local flat in Hackney where they have lived for over 20 years. It hasn't been the safest area over the years but they've always been happy there and there is a good racial mix.
They very much don't want to live in a flat anymore and are nearing retirement and want to pay their mortgage off and buy cash. With the cash remaining we can't find anything in Walthamstow, hackney, chingford, Tottenham or Edmonton. There are a couple of houses in Edmonton but they are so run down and need work which adds to the budget.
Looking on right move we can see lots of decent houses around Romford for around 300k but we don't know the area at all really. They are Nigerian and I want to make sure it's a diverse enough area where they move to and don't want them to be in a massive minority or experience racism. Does anyone know about Romford in general in this respect? Or any particular areas to go for or avoid?
