Anyone dislike where they live???

I hate my area, it’s become so different, manically busy, tower blocks going up everywhere, xl bullies all over, inconsiderate neighbours. I can’t wait to leave. The plan is to move rurally next year.

I've lived in this back end of nowhere town. The estate is nice but the neighbours not so much. Selfish beyond anything. Party going on next door just as well i have no house viewings to move out of here.

Yes, I live in Luton and I fucking hate it. It's filthy, ugly and unfriendly.

Moving soon, hopefully.

SNP, anti women, crap public services. Now Sturgeon has gone it’s a bit better. Constant banging on about independence has at least stopped.

Sorry to hear this. What are the politics in Edinburgh?

That’s what I’m looking for! A little town by the sea with a great community. Add in lovely countryside and some good pubs for eating out. I’ll be happy as Larry.

I feel the same, also right on a flight path so plane noise all the time, hate it! Really resent moving, DH was desperate to for a bigger house with more outdoor space, from a detached in a quiet cul de sac.

Wareham I don’t know. I’ve been to Weymouth once and it seemed like a nice seaside town.

I’ve been to Lyme Regis and Bridport. Both very pleasant places . Bridport is a big retiree destination but there is a lot going on. Some of the villages nearby are lovely. Lyme Regis was where the French Lieutenants Woman was filmed. Very pretty and haven’t heard anything bad about it.
Portland also has a big prison.

Noooooo, really??! How disappointing! I had some friends rave about it, admittedly having only been there for a short break. I have heard the people have a reputation for being very insular and not very welcoming to outsiders though. And I hear there’s going to be a huge incinerator built there which has somewhat put me off, You know better than me, if you have relatives living there.

Do you know anything about Lyme Regis, Wareham, Bridport or Weymouth? I really want to be by the sea, and somewhere peaceful so am happy to look at villages on the outskirts of the bigger towns.

Oh God, not the Isle of Portland! It’s an absolute dump . I have a relative living there.

Thankyou @TheElvishQueen I will add Sherborne to the list. Currently looking at: Weymouth and nearby villages, plus Bridport, Wareham, Lyme Regis, Isle of Portland.

Sherborne is nice .

I’ve lived in various parts of London since my early 20s and now in late 50s, and somehow still find myself here for no good reason. Have definitely had enough of London - so over-populated; rude, selfish people; no sense of community; aggressive drivers; rising crime. Am determined to retire somewhere much quieter by the sea and have been doing loads of research on where to go. Leaning heavily towards Dorset and am planning recces to investigate further. Hoping to move by the time I’m 60, while I still have the energy and resilience to start again somewhere new. Will be taking my time to find the right location and property as I want it to be my final move to grow old in. Have realised that all my previous moves over 30 years were a bit rash and led to regrets of one type or another.

Out of curiosity, are you still in Kent? Did you move?

I live in Edinburgh but realised I had made a mistake in moving back quite quickly . I grew up here but the city is not for me. The traffic has become unbearable. The weather is crap and I haven’t made any good friends. Neighbours do not talk to each other, there is no community spirit and everything is part of a chain charging extortionate prices . It feels like a massive rip off. The council are useless and everything is just falling apart. I want to move to a small town with a community spirit or semi rural . Back to England where my kids are. Recommendations needed!

Like my house, do not like the estate i live on. Feels like a prison for me, clique neighbours, selfish neighbours Trying to sell house and move. Don't know how long that will take.

I hate it , in country side miles from amenities. I loved my old house . Thought I would never move again . Then daughter wanted somewhere to put horses and husband wanted quieter place . Horses are 2 attached to each other so she can’t seperate them and I feel that any time I want to go anywhere it’s something ch an effort. A living nightmare. Lesson learnt don’t move unless you all agree as my life is ruined

I know everyone seems to be moving to Bristol but I really hated it and moved away last year. Too busy, we lived in a crap area with crap schools (couldn't afford the nicer areas). I also got fed up with the wannabe hippies living in the vans leaving their crap all over my road. Everything family related was heaving - waiting lists for kids sports, museums, clubs. Crap graffiti everywhere, rubbish everywhere and crazily expensive. I also spent half my week sitting in traffic.
Anyway, we moved away last year and it is bliss. I don't think I realised how stressed I was until I stopped feeling stressed all the time.
Now I love visiting Bristol and all it has to offer but I'm glad I'm not raising my family there.

Womble?

I know I should like where I live but I hate it. Nice house, good enough neighbours but in a city with increasingly poor council upkeep. It's filthy and the pavements and roads so poorly maintained, it's hard to even go out for a walk without turning your ankle. Park nearby but full of off the lead dogs. City has a lot going on in it but I've not really made many friends to go out with. I look out onto other houses. It's just so dull. Give me country or coastal any day. But again a few years until youngest finishes school, but will need to stay as well for college as he needs support. It's a bit of a drudge tbh.

Um, good for you?

I love where I live in Wimbledon Park. I've never felt more at home!

I live in a currently fashionable part of north east London , it’s really not as nice as it’s hyped to be . Lots of crime and dog mess , I am staying because we have a social housing property and one of my dcs has a special school place , but I don’t love it here .

Yes, I live in the East Midlands and I fucking hate it. Backwards, racist, nothing here, transport links are awful, housing is cheap though, relatively, but there’s a huge reason for that.
