Dorset based fans

[brighton terra]

Out of interest are there any other Dorset based fans out there? I'm sure I've spotted several others from the Poole/Bournemouth area.

I would love to be, but we can't sell our house here.

Where are you hoping to move to?

 

[Stat Brother]

We wanted and still do want to go Bridport way.
There just wasn't quite the property to move to, which was fairly academic anyway, as ours didn't even look like shifting even with a 'come and get' me price.

We will get there it's just a long term idea now.

Typically this thread had me doing my first 'rightmove' search for a month, and this baby turned up:-

3 bedroom property for sale in St. Andrews Road, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

which is exactly what we were looking for, grrrrr.

Looking at that, would I be correct in assuming house prices are a bit cheaper in Dorset than Sussex ? I'm hoping to move West when I go into semi-retirement in a couple of years and was hoping to be able to buy a property and have a bit of cash left over.

Well it depends on the area you want - here is another 3 bed property in my region (geographic not price region).

As with any County prices vary from place to place. In west Dorset prices are less than the Sussex average, but prices in Poole/Bournemouth are broadly comparable with Brighton.

That's a little bit out of my price range. I don't know Dorset that well but I would be looking inland rather than on the coast. Preferably on the edge of a village or small market town.

Where do you live Gully?

Blandford, Wimborne or Sherborne would fit the bill.

We've found it very like for like.
Or even a touch more expensive, if you want to move straight into a comfortable house.

That one highlighted looks like it needs windows/doors/heating/decorating, where as our similar house here (west west west Sussex) has all of that, but is only 10/15k more.

That's obviously not including 10k to move, hence staying put.

Woo, living in Poole atm, but off to uni after the summer (Hopefully Cornwall)

live in New Milton just a couple of miles away from the border.

Love Dorset, wife's parents own a second home in Lyme Regis. Got married there and regularly go down there ( well my wife and kids more so) . Would like to eventually retire to the west country.
