Hello - I know that this is probably a hot topic at the moment but we are really flummoxed. If anyone could offer advice on places to investigate. I have to children 3 year old and a baby. Would ideally like a 3 bed but could make do with a 2 bed. Budget - a modest 250K, however we need to rent for 1 year before we are able to buy again :( We have looked at Hastings & St Leonards , Long commute but nice property's. Woolwich. Medway - Rochester which was nice. We are considering a trip to Folkstone. Can anyone recommend any other places to visit. We want a place with a bit of community and personality...we don't want something too suburban on the outskirts of London. Would prefer a complete change if we have to move. We have even considered commuting from Yorkshire but at 900 pcm for travel it is a bit much. The commute ideally would be 1h30 or less but for the right place maybe longer. Please could anyone suggest nice affordable towns commuter distance from London which are nice for families. THANK YOU!! I look forward to reading any replies xx
