Serious Plowsie Thread!

Not jokes or comedy in here please, i know i know its usually me that does it, but i need a serious kick up the jacksie and a bitta help.

I need to move away from where i live, like away away, could settle for a flat but i'm a ******** and don't want any rough areas Is there anywhere that is cheapish that you guys live that would suit my needs?

I remember nice places in Pompey when i went to fratton park last year goin pretty cheap and i liked Portsmouth itself.

can't help bud I'll keep an eye out.
Check www.gumtree.co.uk (theres one for most cities) for cheap accomodation.

Cheers mate having a look through that now

You could try somewhere near brighton - not in brighton itself, but somewhere like peacehaven or telscombe. Nice quiet area's, good roads near by and all the fresh sea air you can handle

Pompey is a nice place, spent 4 years at uni there. Southsea has loads of cheapish housing, you only problem is that most of the rentals are students.

If your willing to share a house you might still be alright, there still going to be house shares about, and you could live with final year students as well if you are working. The rental market was cetainly getting tighter over the time I was there though, havn't been down there for 18 months so can't say for sure now.

In all fairness most of portmouth is pretty nice providing your not on one of the big estates, which I never though were that bad anyway. I worked pizza delivery on all those estates and was never confronted once in 3 years. I lived 500m from a one of the "rough" areas and never had a problem. Only problem with living around fratton that I know about is the parking is terrible on match days, and the traffic warden are out in force.

I actually live pretty near you at the moment (banbury) and would certainly rate portsmouth over any of the towns around here, but I was at uni there and not working so it may not be a fair assement.

TBH the best thing is probaly to get yourself down there and have a look.

Wiltshire, Swindon, Calne Chippenham area is cheaper than most for no apparant reason.

Strange as it seems scotland or north wales are brilliants places to live, I would move to either in an instant if the chance arose.

If I ever get the oppurtunity to work from home I would look for an old stone cottage in the middle of nowhere in either destination.

My sister in law lives in Calne. In fact she is now moving to Abingdon but leaving her house behind to rent it out. Really nice place and not too far from Swindon. Some good roads too, as long as you know where the spee cameras are.

Not Oxford, it's viciously expensive! Try up north maybe?

next door to me is for sale
