Dh and I asking ourselves why we work ourselves to the bone to live in a new build terrace townhome albeit in a very nice town but with absolutely no time/energy to enjoy it.

We have decided to move further north.

Just wondering where we get most bang for our buck. Areas we are looking at:

Birmingham - specifically Warwick, Stratford, Leamington Spa, Dorridge

Liverpool - Wooton, Calderstones, Allerton

Manchester - Knutsford, Alderley Edge, Altrincham, Wilmslow

York - 5 miles to town centre (haven’t visited so not aware of specific areas yet).

We have young kids and I will be on maternity leave in the next year or so. Living where stuff is going on is important.

Thanks in advance

Have you got an actual figure in mind? Might help people help you better. York is v v expensive. Birmingham isn't really north. Market towns in Northumberland are beautiful and definitely better value whilst only an hour from Edinburgh for culture.

There are a lot of much cheaper areas than those you have mentioned but appreciate you probably want a balance between affordability and living somewhere pleasant and safe

We can probably advise better if we know what your budget is
