Hello everyone
I'm looking for some much needed advice.
Job's relocating from London to Leeds and we don't know the area at all.
We're exploring York and Harrogate as possible places to live. Also Chapel Allerton, roundhay & horsforth in Leeds.
Can anyone offer advice on any of these towns/locations. Any areas to avoid?
We're looking for nice residential area not too far from town centre/station as I'll be commuting to Leeds. Ideally it'd have some local shops/high st.
A bus ride/15 minute cycle to station would be fine if it means we can get a better choice of house/area.
Unlike many other posters we don't want to live in a village.
Primary school is important for DS who is due to start in September (and of course later secondary but focus right now is primary)
House - Ideally we'd want a 4/5 bed house with garden, in good location, preference would be Victorian/Georgian/traditional style house.
Budget up to £550/600k though If something exceptional then we can go to the £750k mark, maybe a touch more.
Grateful for any advice or insight people can offer as we are flying blind.
We're hoping to visit in the next few weeks so it would be great to know where we should focus our efforts.
Thanking you in advance
