Makes a change from reading newspaper links calling Hastings the new Shoreditch, whatever that means

Bigger home, for sure, but we've got the Peaks on our doorstep, a quieter, and arguably friendlier pace of life (for the first 3 months my other half was terrified by the fact that "strangers" kept striking up conversations with her!), everything is cheaper (except the council tax, but that's our fault!), rail links to London/Birmingham/Manchester/Sheffield are incredible. We miss our friends and family, I miss going to the Albion of course, but we get down south at least once a month.

Basically a bowl of cornflakes in the morning served by a hipster would set you back a tenner.

Hope it works out for you. My parents moved up to Retford 5 years ago and now want to come back but they have be struggling to sell their place and what they can afford back here is nowhere near as good as the place they sold originally. Although the increase in house prices is not that dissimilar, x% down here just makes the gap so much bigger, especially when you are retired.

Fair to you and good luck. Just curious as I/we also made a “significant” move which was driven by life-style and quality of life.
