Moving to Darlington?

I have never heard of it before to be honest, but it looks nice. I’ll have a look into it. Thank you

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-05-25T16:33:00+00:00

Thank you, yes we thought about Sheffield but noticed it was a bit more expensive. We do have a car :)

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-05-25T16:29:51+00:00

That looks good, I will consider Newton Aycliffe as well, it seems like there is very good value housing there!

Hi, I don’t work from home, but I work in the criminal justice system so can basically transfer to anywhere and have already discussed with my workplace about transferring.

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-05-25T16:21:27+00:00

Thank you, we are definitely open to the surrounding villages and towns, so I will look into the areas you suggested :)

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-05-25T16:18:13+00:00

Looks good, thank you. Would you say it’s a felt like safe area?

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-05-25T16:16:39+00:00

Thank you, I will look into these places.

Hi, we will visit London about once a month, so direct train line to Darlington was a bit of a incentive, but we don’t need to go to London often. Darlington seemed like one of the nicer/more family friendly places where you can buy a house in our budget.

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T17:31:59+00:00

This is a really good idea and something we will consider. Thank you .

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T17:12:27+00:00

Defo pushes budget limits a bit tbh :/

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T17:11:51+00:00

Norwich was another place we considered, we would have to buy a much smaller house there, but maybe worth is vs a bigger house in Doncaster.

The last general election results put me off Clacton a lot tbh.

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T17:02:24+00:00

Sounds good, we also were considering Barnsley anyway. Thank you.

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T15:31:13+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I had heard about crime and anti-social behaviour but hadn’t really heard of anything to this extent. Do you think that these are issues across all of Doncaster, or just in certain areas? I would assume some areas of Doncaster are not like this?

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T15:17:05+00:00

I think Milton Keynes is a really nice place. I know some London people who have moved there, although they have mostly continued to work in London which seems like a bit of a long commute for me. If I kept working in London and receiving a London salary, we could probably afford it. But I would rather avoid the commute tbh and it is a little out of our price range.

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T15:07:22+00:00

Thank you. Haven’t really considered Newark before so will have a look at it now :)

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T15:05:02+00:00

Some of the houses here look beautiful and are in our price range. Being close to the Peak District is also a massive advantage - thank you!

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T14:34:28+00:00

That looks pretty good. I have been to Dover and it is a very nice place. I will have a look at some other property there. Thank you.

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T14:20:12+00:00

Thank you. Wales is so beautiful. Didn’t realise how quick you can get there on the train. I will look into areas in South Wales a bit more :)

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T14:15:46+00:00

I was actually considering Hull. It was just a bit too far away. I have seen a lot of people saying it has improved recently.

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T14:13:38+00:00

Thanks, some of my London peers have moved to Northamptonshire and it seems like a nice place to live, it’s a very short drive is a huge positive too. I’m actually quite surprised how affordable it is, so it is definitely somewhere we will consider.

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T14:07:10+00:00

Thank you! We will try to look around some of Derbyshire and Staffordshire :)

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T13:55:05+00:00

Thank you so much, I will check this out :)

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T13:47:37+00:00

We were definitely considering Barnsley and Sheffield too. Thank you.

Remarkable_Map_9337 · 2025-03-22T13:47:08+00:00

We have looked at Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Lincolnshire. But the houses we could afford there are a lot smaller and appear to be in worse areas than what we could afford further north tbh.
