Hi All,
I’m a full time mom and need some advise on where to purchase our upcoming home. We came to Liverpool for almost a year and we are searching for a permanent home. After visiting the area, Bebington and Irby in Wirral seems to be our most favourable choices for the time being.
We are a family of four, my husband and I, my mother in law (68) and a 10 months baby girl and we mainly base our selection criteria on safety, schooling and children facilities in the neighbourhood. We are considering to have a second child but only on planning stage. My husband is very flexible with his work so he can help care for the children or home chores. I haven’t got a driving licence (will apply shortly) and my mother in law (68) isn’t very keen to drive.
To sum up my question we wish to know more about these places from local residents’ perspectives. We wish to know about the good and bad, ugly and pretty side of things. At the moment we can only conclude both areas got decent primary schools. Irby seems like a very safe town with low crime rate but it’s also slightly rural with less public transport and fewer schedules. On the other hand, Bebington is more convenient but we heard neighbouring areas (Rock Ferry) can be quite rough. Can anyone please share your thoughts? Thank you!
Also, it would be nice to know which area holds up better on its property prices for the long term. Thanks again.
