Hi, looking for advice/opinions on this particular area of Sheldon in Birmingham. I currently live in the surrounding area of London but I’m in the process of a council exchange to Birmingham, to be closer to support, I don’t know much about Birmingham areas but I think I’ve chosen the wrong one.
Im due to move to Sheldon right near the airport viewing area in country park. My support system doesn't live in Sheldon but not too far away, ideally I’d prefer a more diverse part of Birmingham with a bit more going on so I’ll probably try to exchange this house again in the future. Upon looking online I’ve seen the part of Sheldon I’m moving too (the radleys) is the more rougher side that’s not as nice and people are told to avoid moving to…it wouldn’t bother me too much however as mentioned I want to try and exchange property’s again and I now think it’ll be hard to do so as not many people seem to want Sheldon in the first place but if they do they definitely won’t want the part im moving to. Not to mention being so close to the airport I imagine the noise will also put a lot of people off and I’m not even sure how I’ll adapt to it myself.
Im unsure what to do as I really want to be closer to my support asap and would hate to drop out of the mutual exchange and start over again. I already knew the loud planes may be an issue but due to really wanting to move I was willing to deal with it…but now also finding out the area has a bad reputation, I’m seriously reconsidering. The house itself I don’t mind other than the fact it has a small garden it is a decent semi detached house, nice living area, large drive with garage. It’s just the area I’m now stressing about.
People who are familiar with this area is it really bad?
As I suspect, will people be put off swapping with me in the future due to plane noise and the areas bad reputation?
