Moving to areas you aren't familiar with

[ArgentinianMalbec]

We're thinking of relocating to Royston, Herts. Trying to research areas to avoid online but can't find anything.
We've found a lovely house but I'm concerned its in a dubious area, and a little overpriced.
What would you do?! I'm torn as have fallen for the house!
Does anyone local to Royston know of any more dubious areas?

It might be helpful to be more specific in your title if you are looking at a specific area. I'm sure you'll get some MNers in the know.

I had huge success with MN when I moved to an area I didn't know. Lots of good advice and lots of MNers who are now friends in RL.

Sorry I can't help in any real terms though!

Good luck with it.

Good - thanks for the tip, I didn't want it to be too obvious on a Google search incase I was easily identifiable. Should have name changed!
Thanks for your reply!
