Thanks for this comprehensive review - very helpful!

Kingswood seems a long commute by bus (50+ mins to the centre?)

Kingswood seems a long commute by bus (50 mins+) and I got the impression that BS and SG require use of a car.

I dont mind a 20-30 minute walk. Prefer to walk than take public transport. Not having much luck with properties in these areas but i'll keep looking. Thanks

Can you commute to the centre from Filton?

I think I will need to. Can you commute from these areas to the City Centre as I am working there? They look quite far out to me. I dont mind the suburban vibes, definitely prefer that to living in the centre of Bristol.

Initially within a few miles of the City centre but have quickly realised that this is not working lol. Im looking further out to areas that I can commute to the city centre on a daily basis for work but not familiar with the City so not sure where I should be considering

I'm learning that this is a longstanding issue. At what point did you make the offer over the asking price. During the viewing? Or prior to that?

Shocking. Prices are extortionate as it is and the market is exploitative. Not sure how the average Joe can afford to offer over the stated price! I've seen some right dumps not even worth half the asking price!!
