The Missus and I have finally had enough of the Big Smoke - the place is full to bursting point now, we're fed up of the costs and having to put up with hordes of scum walking the streets - especially as we are hoping to start a family in the near future. There's just no quality of life up here any more.
So, we've come to a decision in the last week or so. In the near future we'll be looking at moving down to God's Own County.
Most of you know me as someone who has never lived in Exeter (or nearby) bar the first couple of weeks of my life - indeed have rarely been to the city except for Football, so:
We need some advice!
First of all we need to know whereabouts we need to look - i.e. which areas of the City (and surrounds) are nice (i.e. quiet!), which areas are best avoided, transport links (the Missus doesn't drive so needs access to public transport). Depending on what we get for our place here, we'd look to spend round about £160-170K on a place - I've seen on websites that this ought to get us a 3-bed house (ideally!), but of course not sure if the areas are OK!
Also an update on the employment situation would be ideal - in the worst case scenario I can continue working (remotely) for my current employer, but I hate this job so would love to tell them to shove it! My Missus too needs to find work, preferably Secretarial / Admin.
Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated! Either reply on here, or PM / Email me.
