Hey lovely people

I was speaking to a colleague today who told me that she wants to move out of London like me and like soooooo many Londoners, since the pandemic.

She has two kinds, of primary school age and she is Caribbean while her partner is mixed heritage.

She told me that they viewed properties in Wellingborough and Newark and she liked both properties. Her partner though seems to like Grantham and Hinckley where he has visited previously but has no current connections there. He does not mind however to live where ever she settles with.

What are your thoughts? Their budget is £275k which is likely to purchase in any of these areas. She is more concerned about not living somewhere where her kids will feel too different.

These are not the areas I have considered myself and therefore have no info to share with her. So, I told her that I will ask you guys.

PS: she works from home a lot but she may need to commute once per week to London. She is also thinking of getting a job closer to home, if need be.

Please share your views.

Thanks as always

post again with the name of the area you are interested in in the thread title and you'll get a better response.

has she looked at schools in each area? if work is completely flexible, i'd look at schools first and then pick an area where the schooling is good.
