Cheers Marko, it does look quite nice when I've drove through, just not lived there. There are some nice spots for countryside around there. I'm only going by what I've heard, and that can often be based on many misconceptions. Cost of living would definitely be good there, and I think getting work wouldn't be too hard, especially with Leeds nearby.
Bradford is good .i mean very good place to live...i am enjoying my week trips to Yorkshire Dales ..it's amazing place.. and it's just 30min travel time..
City got plenty to offer and very affordable living standard.
100% agree with that Jotom, I wouldn't say that the town I lived in was that bad really, in fact, people go there on holiday,so it can't be that bad. It's all about perspective. Like a Jamaican guy once said to me, when I asked about Jamaica, and if it was a nice place etc. He replied, "my Jamaica, is not your Jamaica, go for yourself, and you'll find your Jamaica. You might see something in the place, that I didn't. Same is true for my home town, it's not that it's a bad place, but I just associate it with having no money, and being surrounded by wealthy people, being considered irrelevant, by the local MP, because the town is mostly populated by wealthy individuals, that do not concern themselves with the problems of the poor. The social deprivation, not having enough money to partake in social activities. If you had the money yo live there, and you could afford to live in the nice part, it would be a great place to live. For me however, I will never forget how that place made me feel, and therefore, it will never be my home again. I quite like where I am now, near the peak District, within a few hours of almost all major airports. If I were to move again, it would probably be abroad.
Joe.
I would not say lack of love or that shocking really. Moved from poorer inner city to posher countryside, bit by bit. Near to the sea now, toddlers loved that. Life is a journey, people, conditions, opportunities, all change. My view is to wherever possible be flexible and go with the flow/take advantage/evolve as things around us do. Has worked for me. We are all different.
Fingers crossed, for life, for Ukraine and for Evraz.
GLASH.
Jotom and hopeful, cheers and thanks for the returns, I have smiled and reminisced as a result. hopeful, you must have lived somewhere pretty shocking to lack love for your old home town!
Moooog comes across as one from an era where Mrs Dracula would only be in the same room if she was to wear a maids uniform.
I haven't got homesick, though I lived in the south east, and it's not as nice as Cornwall IMO. I wouldn't recommend Bradford, admittedly I've not lived there myself, but I don't hear much good about the place. Got to be a bit wary with areas etc, especially in the big cities. Trouble with Cornwall is it's high cost, and low wages. South east has the potential for the London mega money, not that I saw any of it mind. I was just so determined, and fed up, with life in general, that I didn't even care if it was aweful, I'd have lived anywhere. Though TBH, looking back, I actually lived in a diabolically aweful place before. I went back, and the area I lived in was terrible, scagg heads everywhere. I must have just been used to it.
Good luck whatever you do, as I always say, life is a marathon, not a sprint, and just like with boxing, you've got to keep moving forward.
Joe.
Sorry for that, I completely agree with your description, he and Mrs Dracula (patel) make a love match from the dank dark ages. Sends a chill down my spine. (I must stop that draft!).
Canada was a place I recommended my youngest son to try when he's finished his studies, seems a wonderful place.
I must say that I think more young people have got to get involved in politics, the "You Know What" a few years ago, was a big disappointment for me in the relative apathy shown by the young. As a result the old fogies won the day.
So, regarding Evraz it still seems that we are in limbo, luckily this from Reuters..
"Russia is advancing a new law allowing it to take control of the local businesses of western companies that decide to leave, raising the stakes for multinationals trying to exit. The law, which could be in place within weeks, will give Russia sweeping powers to intervene where there is a threat to local jobs or industry."
Will not affect EVR, though the less well informed (hopefully not me) could be a little bit spooked.
GLASH.
Jotom, thanks, I enjoyed your response,until you mentioned Rees slippery sh#t Mooooog. That thing makes me seethe. It may sound petty but when he put his feet up and reclined on the front bench, jeez I have overwhelming dislike of the contemptuous eel.
Hello Hopeful, I have in the past considered your suggestion of leaving the area. In fact I did a year in Scotland and five in Canada. I became homesick!! I wish I had given Canada another six months, upon my return it quickly became apparent that nothing much had changed (it never does!) and I began to wish I had never boarded the plane.
Not long ago, my girl and I went house shopping online, I think it was Bradford where we found a two bed property that I could have put on my credit card! Madness. Cornwall has just come on the BBC news regarding unaffordable rent. Shipping those less fortunate out of the country. It is an evolving story, as a kid I remember these southern counties being full of us country bumpkins and not overly desirable. Minimum wage is the same in Dorchester as the rest of the country. I guess myy day rate as a carpenter is roughly the same throughout.
Bla Bla Bla. It is as it is and I'm happy enough. When the media make a story about the poor people earning a dollar a day in some far off land, they could in fact lessen their carbon footprint and find that story at their feet.
Hope.
I would say you've got a good point there. After all, they even speak a similar language! Sage advice. I think it also helps to lift the spirits and show that there is hope of getting on the housing ladder.
Good Luck :)
Joesnatch,
I recommend moving if you can, I moved from south coast, which was exactly as you describe, and moved to the Midlands. Best thing I ever did, went from living in a bedsit, bought a 2 bed terrace house. rented spare room to mate. Then managed to get lorry license. Just recently moved into a new build 3 bed detached with drive and garage in a somewhat posh area, with other half. This all happened within the space of 5 years. I have about 12K from a share scheme at work for the initial deposit. Honestly, the south is overrated, move somewhere cheap, get set up.
Joe.
I think that it has been successive governments (though this one is possibly the worst) that have prostrated themselves to take money (some for the nation but also much for themselves and their lordy lordy chums) from the rich, be they established nationals, new nationals or foreigners. Remember these people create the laws largely to suit themselves. Local to my last home, a Canadian union bought up two very large new blocks of flats to rent out, why do these people/companies see property in the U.K. as such a good investment? Because our laws make it so. But these laws suit the likes of The Duke of Westminster et al far more than the likes of you or I. What does reese moog (he was not always wealthy) offer users of his services that Hargreaves Lansdowne does not I wonder??? So we are, to a degree at least, the minions in this world. Your friend is happy with her gain and why not. Other countries have rules that tax property gains of over 10%, this keeps prices more stable and within the affordability of normal people. That would not happen here, it's too late for that. To the older voter contingent it would be a catastrophe, hence no party will do it. We, it seems are now in the hole of basing most of our political decisions on how much individual tax we pay, whoever else it impacts negatively.
You would have to point out anything you may deem offensive. To be honest, looking back at the thread, my point was R. A was considered as acceptable person to buy Chelsea, he and the other oligarchs who had reaped the rewards of the state sell off were accused of vulgarity in splashing the cash but he was allowed to take on the club. I personally find (if this is right) the government change of view on his ownership of Chelsea as no long acceptable because he knows Putin pretty harsh. The man has made plain disdain about what's happening whilst trying to stay out of the cross hairs.
I'm not really sure what he has to do with house prices, especially the ones I may look at.
joesnatch
Without wanting to be rude, it takes two to make a deal. Unless your inlaws/parents/uncles/aunts etc and everybody else, (including you), are willing to take less money when they sell, these things will always be up to the market to decide. Otherwise tell grandad and granny when they downsize that the have to pay 30% capitol gains tax (as they do in other countries) so that it may help the young. As we all know this will never happen. That's reality.
GLASH.
Time not price.
Joe, you bought at 10?
Hi jotom, indeed I own some shares here, my last buy was at 10.05, not many minutes before Barclays closed shop.
Where I live, 5 min drive from the Dorset coast, house prices were driven to ridiculous levels by second home owners from this country many years ago. If you take out the 8 council houses, as near as damn half the houses in this hamlet are weekenders( covid made many full time for a year or so). A friend, Penny, probably the first holiday home owner, one of the rare non-locals who is part of the fabric, has just sold her two bed room mud hut that cost her a whooping 9k 37 years ago for £672k. Unsurprisingly it has been bought as a weekend retreat by a non local.
I'm hoping my shares in this company will make gains like my friends house to give me a chance of buying my own mud hut.
All the best. Joe
joe.
So, I do hope that if you sell (assuming you own one) your home that you will give back between 25% and 33% as this is about the amount that foreign buyers have pushed up prices in the UK. And as a side issue do you own any Evraz stock? (this is an Evraz BB by the way) you may want to consider that many of it's resources are foreign.
It does not sit well with me that this fine country of ours sees fit to allow foreigners to purchase assets, and I'm pretty sure that buying a football club will involve plenty of scrutiny, only to force the disposal and forfeiture. Hope we don't fall out with the yanks.
I was under the impression proceeds will go to help Ukraine ?
THE £4billion will not end up in his pockets imo
I’m sure he said will go to charity
Gla
just been cleared for sale to go through, RA though will not directly benefit ATM??? im not sure how the sale proceeds will eventually get to RA, maybe they have put it into some kind of holding trust????
GLA LTH More details will no doubt follow
