Hello,
This is my first post here. My partner and I have been looking to buy a house for over a year...house prices are constantly on the rise, and our budget is becoming increasingly "problematic" as house prices continue to go up. We finally saw a house the other day that we really liked - the garden was in need of a bit of care, but we were happy to deal with that.
We went back to the area today and spoke to a few people - but all of them said the area was very "studenty"....and it seems as though the houses on either side of the property we looked at are student properties. Because the housing market is so competitive here you ahve to make a decision quickly and so we made an offer...but having gone back, I wonder if we have made a mistake....
would it be foolish to move into a student area? We are a young couple, no children, but thinking about starting a family in the next few years.
I imagine the area will become increasingly studenty, rather than less....as investors start taking over the market.
Do people have experience living in student areas? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
