We're moving up to West Yorkshire in the next couple of weeks and we will be renting for 6 months/1 year while we decide where to buy.
Looking for an older property, 3 beds, decent sized garden near public transport as I don't drive and with good primary and secondary schools within reach for our 7 year old daughter. Small budget of 200k but happy to take on a fixer-upper as my husband is a builder.
We've narrowed it down to Holmfirth, Meltham, Marsden and surrounding areas. Are these good choices based on our criteria? Are there any other places in West Yorkshire you'd suggest? Or avoid?
I'm also concerned about the current political situation with the rise of fascism/racism at the moment.
As someone who is strongly opposed to genocide and sickened by the demonisation of asylum seekers, I want to live somewhere where my neighbours care about others and the environment. With this in mind, Is there anywhere you'd suggest or avoid?
I'm just looking for a strong community spirit that's welcoming to everyone.
