Hi all,
My husband and I have found a house in Salfords (Surrey) which we've made an offer on so I'm keen to find out as much as possible about the area, schools, community & plane noise from Gatwick.
We have twin boys who will be starting primary school in sept so choice of school is very important. Ofsted ratings on Salfords primary isn't great so I wondered if anyone had any info on that particular school & others nearby.
On wiki it mentions a stream which runs through the village and can cause flooding during winter months; anyone had any experience with this? Any issue with home insurance?
Since we are in the middle of a global pandemic and there are very few planes around at present it's hard to gage how loud the plane noise will be in this area seeing as it's close to Gatwick? Anyone got info on this?
Finally, what is the community like? Much to do for kids? Any nice local pubs with gardens?
I noticed there is a large business park in Salfords which a police custody centre. Has anyone experienced any issues with this?
Any constructive information (positive or negative) would be appreciated. With everything closed (ie. shops, pubs, sports centres & lack of planes) its very hard to gage an idea on the village we hope to move to.
Thank you for taking the time to read :)
