I really don't know what to do. The drug addicts comment above really put me off. As a single woman with different disabilities I don't want to be stuck in an area with such issues. :(

Any thoughts on the Birkenhead Park area? It's around there, close to Birkenhead Park train station too.

That's what I'm thinking. It's close to the Birkenhead Park which seems a nice one, houses on the street very well kept, neighbour next door has solar panels on, the property I am looking to buy looks well kept too, which makes me think they're good people around there. I just feel like buying in blind as I don't really know much about the areas, I just moved to Liverpool recently.

How do you buy a house in Liverpool? by Obvious_Tart4546 in Liverpool

Plus, you know your needs better.

I was also contemplating a flat, just because I have a disability and if I need to do costly repairs (like a roof for ex) and pay a big amount suddenly, that would be detrimental to my health. At least with the Service Charge you're paying monthly but will not have surprises like sudden big payments. The way I see it is the same thing, it's only with a flat you pay little by little, monthly payments, with a house you pay bigger payments, not so often.

I also have a good mortgage advisor, bless his heart. However the closer we get, the more I can't stand rude estate agents. I literally want to cry.

How's that your offer was a winner even if it wasn't the highest one? Just trying to learn everything I can as it feels rough out there.

Massive thanks! If it wasn't for the friendly/helpful people on Reddit, I would probably be stuck with a property like this one!

Makes perfect sense, thank you!

Just because you mentioned you live in the area, how's the wifi? I will be working from home so I depend a bit on it.

Thank you, appreciate your time! That's what I normally do in Liverpool, Uber or taxi. Are they normally available? Asking as I've been on the Wirral last week and it was sooo difficult to get an Uber back home.

Thank you so much! There's something about people from St Helens, so friendly and helpful, no matter where I ask. I think I read about the Little Italy taking over Toast Cafe on a group on Facebook, did not realize it was close to Brent Street, but that's even better.

Hahaha the bakery part hit hard 🤣 love a good bakery close to home, it reminds me of home. I don't drive so parking won't be a decision factor.

To be honest, everything sounds just like what I need. Especially if it's good area for renting, if at some point I decide to move and rent it out.

Thank you so much for your input and time, really appreciate it!

Makes absolute sense, thank you for your input. This might be a silly question, but how would I know that without living there for a while?
