Hi, I’ve recently put my house on the market and planning to make a move to Essex.
Where I live in Ruislip is very nice, tree lined roads, cafes, libraries, as well as Waitrose/Sainsbury’s/Aldo/Lidl.
Ruislip Woods and Lido is great for DD and the dog and so bring near similar is preferable.
A massive choice. As well, the people are friendly, and there is a real sense of community. It is one of the few places I know where you can walk down a street and wave to someone because you’ve seen them before. I’d like to adopt the same in a new area where I am able to afford more for my money.
Hillingdon Council gives its residents a residents card, this allows us to park within the borough for a significantly reduced charge. I doubt I’ll get that anywhere else as
I’ve not heard of other council’s offering the same. Just thought I’d put that out there in case there is such a thing anywhere else.
Now that I’m planning to move to Essex and I’ve explore a few areas, I wondered could anyone help in determining any areas I should stay clear of places I need to hone in on.
So, Benfleet/Thundersley, Braintree Great Notley, Black Notley, White Notley, Chelmsford or Brentwood.
I’m looking for a 4 bed detached up to £450k.
My DD is 7 and so a good CoE primary school is a must. I’ve done schoolchecker on Rightmove and St Michael’s is one which keep coming up.
Any ideas, advice you could give is greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to hear back.
