Lincoln's not so bad.. well some bits are, but really it's OK. Lincolnshire has much lower house prices than the rest of the country, it's bizarre..

 

I want snow here

 

OMFG.. bits of snow here

 

move up norf, you'll get snow

 

We were thinking about Lincolnshire actually. If Scott changes jobs we could move just about anywhere really I suppose, except the overly expensive places. Tis worth thinking aboot to save monies

 

My cousins live in a lovely little hamlet near Holbeach, that's my favourite part of Lincolnshire. I suspect I will live my life as a southerner...

S'no snow 'ere.

 

Yup.. we bought a house in a nice area of Lincoln for £200,000.. and this was back when the market hadn't gone to shit.

 

I think our house was worth £170,000 3 years ago. And this in commuter country.

 

I dont think were buying...but even rent heres ridiculous. We pay 550 for one poky room with a "kitchenette" at the end of it on the edge of town at the moment. 2 bed houses in town are about 900 Even in Gloucester theyre much lower, about 600, and up north theyre loads cheaper, so well definitely move. Ill miss home though *sniff*

Still itll be worth it to have our garden with a sandpit and swing, a study for Scott and a nursery! I want to get nesting. I want to gather up twigs

 

holy shit!! we pay 485 pm for a two bedroom semi detatched house!

 

Exactly! You wouldnt believe what my mum pays for her 3 bed semi, I think its about 400

The prices here are REALLY crazy. When we tell local people how much we pay they say "wow, you got a good deal!"...when we tell northerners we pay 550 a month to have 1 little room to call home they react like you didhehe

Cant wait to live in a proper house and not be ripped off!

Where abouts do you live btw?

 

I dunno how much our 3 bed semi is pm, we're housing association though.

I'm probably going to have to pay £90 a week for a room in halls in the first year of uni
I'll live in a cupboard after that!!

 

Btw for that price we also get drains that dont work (all our kitchen gunk comes up through our bath plughole about 5 times a day) that landlady wont get fixed, and an interfering busybody landlady whos round here every other day complaining about something!

 

North Yorkshire. Its actually alright, although i moan constantly coz i miss devon. Its driving distance of robin hoods bay and the coast, but also near York which is beautiful, Leeds, Newcastle, Middlesbrough and the Dales and Yorkshire moors.

 

we have the plug hole problem. between the sink and the bath. It stinks too!

 

Yeah, York's a really nice city.. could almost be southern if it wasnt for the weather and the accents

 

Im pretty jealous tbh! May add Yorkshire to the "look into" list

 

Yeah reeks doesnt it, like rotten eggs! When we first moved in we thought wed both caught a bug :leaving:

I rarely have baths anymore because the thought of whats been sitting in there grosses me out

 

I <3 North Yorkshire. I wouldn't mind living there if I had to live up north. I even like Lancashire now

Oddly, all the universities I applied to are down south or in wales...

 

the prices arnt bad, obviously in the cities it gets dearer, but can still get a house in york for about 600 pm which isnt much more than ur paying for ur room. not sure how good locations are and that though. it is pretty nice, but its bloody cold and its full of miserable yorkshire folk! we also got a garden and garage for 485 though.
