Hi everyone,
My husband and myself, plus bump are currently in the process of house hunting in Brighton & Hove, we have been for a while but for one or other reasons the properties we have offered on have fallen through, through no fault of our own.
With an impending mortgage offer expiring (I started a company last year and soon our mortgage will fall in to my new companies earnings), and a baby on the way in the early new year I'm starting to have endless sleepless nights thinking about it all...we currently live in a not so nice part of North London where we've had endless problems (our neighbour's trying to break in etc...and want to be out of here before baby arrives).
We've honed in on the Preston Park / Poets Corner area, and I was wondering if I could get any advice on what it's like living in either area at all please. I'm feeling a bit nervous about it all, I know so few people in B&H and am a fairly sociable human being, so it would be great to know where is good to live to meet people, potter around with the baby and somewhere that has a great community spirit. I'm also starting to think about schools, I know it's a few years off but we all know how time flies! And with my husband and I running our own companies I want to make a move that should future proof us for at least 10 years so we can settle for a bit.
Any advice / insight greatly appreciated! Thank you so much :-)
