Is Brighton turning into a snobby place to live.....

[driller]

I went to eastbourne the other day - god how rough is that!

Brighton was said to be helping the police with their inquiries, what would they say about her now?

Brighton seems to be on a gluten free diet

Those hannover mums have alot to answer for

Oh come on, you know what I mean about ladies what lunch. In my last week at Fiveways there was a massive doggie tea party in Blakers park with hundreds on middle aged women sipping champagne surrounded by their pekingese and chiwawas.

I may go along to the next one. There might be some FIT MILFs there to pick up

Fiveways used to be rough but it's far more like muesli hill nowadays.

Now rebranded as 'Fiveways Village' by estate agent spin *snigger*

I think Brighton is a fine place to live and I do think sometimes we take it for granted. The worst thing about it is the expense, property prices for the centre of town in particular are obscene, but that is a problem shared with most of the south east in general compared with other parts of the country. I do not see why Brighton should be singled out for criticism in that regard.

However for quality of life I still think it is superb, you have access to the coast and the downs. Whether you want to dance, drink, eat, watch a movie, buy a record, buy a book, kick a ball about, catch a show or a gig there are few better places for miles around.

So whilst we do have artisan coffee shops and a whole host of independent and 'quirky' retail establishments we still have Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury's Waitrose, Tesco, Asda, Primark, etc to keep us in the 'real' world.

I love it. I have been here 17years now and I feel much more a Brightonian now than the Londoner I grew up as, and feel all the better for it.

I wholeheartedly agree with almost all of that, apart from the fact that house prices are especially high compared even ti the rest of the south east.

Don't agree with this. They're expensive in the centre but you can buy a nice, 4-bed semi-detached house near a good school for about £270k. That doesn't compare badly with the rest of the south-east

The Level was always no go when I was younger - used needles, junkies... always had a bed rep.

It's this sort of thing that answers the OPs question, ' Fiveways Village ' who the hell falls for this sort of thing?
I would like an estate agent to explain to me exactly why it's called that.

Nice also that the big fountain in the Old Steine appears to have been reclaimed from purveyors of the Tennents purple tin.

Really? I think Notters etc would love a link for that. I bought a 3 bed in Portslade for more than that and have been told I got a bargain and that it's gone up "considerably". Even Woodingdean has been going through the roof. You don't get much more out of the city than those without ending up 'somewhere not Brighton'.

Where is this you are talking about?

 

[halbpro]

Indeed. Just as an example (though I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Whitehawk):

Two bed flat in Whitehawk, £190k: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-48047558.html
In Eastbourne for the same price: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-47576723.html
Or Newhaven: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-47849963.html

Admittedly we may be slightly straying from the point here. I'm surprised how much things have gone up since we were looking 6 months ago too!

Probably says something that I looked at the Whitehawk flat and thought "Two bed for £190k? Good value." Not that I can afford it.

Where do they now have a shower?

Ideal if you like a bet though!

Can't say I know any bankers around here, mind.

Where is here out of interest?

Just trying to see your point of view here, but haven't got a clue where you live.

Still searching?

My house - that's how much it was valued for.

(Not looking to move BTW, just exploring mortgage options - Coldean's a lovely area)

Here you go ....
