I am exasperated, not having much luck finding that lovely family home that i'm after. The problem is that me and DP are separating finally and he has found a nice 4 bed house in Thornton Heath. For the sake of the kids he decided we should live reasonably close to each other so they can get from one house to the other fairly easily. I have been looking at properties around Birbeck, Elmers End, South Norwood (can't afford CP or Brockley etc.
I have sort of settled on S. Norwood but need assurance that it is safe and my teenage DCs will be OK coming and going to school by themselves.
I don't know whether anyone is up at the moment who can give thought, experience of the area.
I am looking at a few properties tomorrow. We have visited both Birkbeck, elmers end and S. Norwood to get a feel for the area, the boys said they preferred Birbeck but i can get more for my money in SN but can't base our safety on that.
Please help
