Moving from London to South Wales

[reptyle]

DH and I are hoping to start a family soon. We’ve been living in London for the last 12 years and feel it’s time to move to a new place. We can’t afford to raise a family in London but we can work remotely and or change jobs.

Our budget is around £800k, we can get a mortgage for the right property but a big reason for moving is to be mortgage free. We need three bedrooms minimum. We are leaning towards the countryside but would consider living in a town. We need to be less than an hour drive to Cardiff Central station.

Any tips, areas, ideas?

This thread is hilarious. Sounds like people in their London bubble, having never been to Cardiff thinking there is not an actual city there.
(Not all of you obviously).

After I lived in Cardiff I moved to London. Cardiff was so much nicer!! Quieter, much better quality of life. Lots more stuff in London, of course, but I was too exhausted to do it.

Ignore the anti-Wales people, OP. If you think it'll suit you and your forthcoming family, move back to near your birthplace 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

your money won’t go needle as far. with good reason though. but £800k cash would still get you very nice place in kent

BUT they don't WANT TO MOVE TO KENT!!!
OP asked about South Wales.

" with good reason though " Dear God. You couldn't make this inward looking up.
