Hi 90802!\nNow that the housing market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out a new place to live. This summer you need to shake off that "lucky I even have my folks to live with" mentality, polish up your shoes, and explore your living quarters options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic places out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible tree house or fort you always wanted!\n(I heard the LongBeach area is a great place to find a cardboard box near a dumpster behind the pizza joint?)\n-Kenny

I suppose it depends on your personal situation.  I would not be a big fan of bringing a family with young ones to Norwich, but a single person, or a young couple with no children should find it decent.\n\nI think the trend is in the right direction for the long term, but again, if you have, or are planning to have a family, it might be wise to look further afield.  I would like to have more green spaces, and a greater sense of security.

how long do you plan to live in it? how important is it to be a homeowner? if you overpay 15% today and next year want to move to a different house, then chances are that it will also be cheaper and it won't matter to you.\n\nquality of life rules!\n\ni bought in Portland last year and the value has gone up 15% or more, depends on neighborhood.

I would suggest you come over for a holiday so you can check out the property scene and the areas in general.  Depending on the job you might want to live just outside Edinburgh - property is much cheaper and, if you think it out, the commute is not bad (many companies are now location outside the city centre anyway).\n\nEdinburgh has the same issues as most major cities - you just need to check the culture fits with how you want to live.\n\nOne point that I cannot stress enough - unlike the poster above DO NOT (I repeat) DO NOT refer to the Country as England ... this is a massive bugbear to Scottish people and actually quite insulting (think of calling someone from the deep south a Yankee [then multiply the insult by 10!).\n\nI am sure you know but the whole country is Great Britain/UK, with England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales making up the different parts.  \n\nEdinburgh is in Scotland and the UK, Edinburgh is not in England\n\nGood luck with it - drop me a note if you need any more.

I hate to break it to you, but there is absolutely NO way that you are going to live in the hills for that kind of monthly rent. You would have to at least double that, and that might not even get you what you want. \n\nSorry to burst your bubble!

Move to a bigger town.

I no longer live there because it is too expensive for housing, a typical problem with the most densely populated areas.\n\nIf you have $3000 per month or more though, go for it.  Try to buy a modest house in a good outlying area.

Check out the cost of living for the city you are thinking of moving to first against where you are living now. That will help you decide. It could be just a break even proposition.

move out, head for bd19, its far enough to not have the same hassle but near enough to not be moving too far from the friend/family/job you might already have. staying in bradford is not a good idea for any white person anymore. admit deafeat, we lost. Its fast becoming a rat infested dump anyway

When I lived in Brancaster (a small village in Norfolk) the housing association built some "affordable" housing under the Shared Ownership scheme.  \n\nWhen I looked into it a bit further I wasn't impressed.  The idea was you bought a share of the house and rented the remainder from the Housing Association - not a bad idea really but then I found out that you are responsible 100% for any repairs that occur.  Not only that but the most you could own was 80% of the house and if you wanted to sell it on you had to find a buyer willing to take on the same committment.\n\nIn the end I decided to just rent.  There is always a risk that you could have your lease terminated but if there was a major repair to be done at least you are not responsible for it!!\n\nHope this helps!

Phone the town hall and ask to be put on the Common Housing Register (CHR). \n\nOnce accepted on to it you can be nominated by the Council to vacant flats, both their flats and the flats owned amd managed by Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) in their area. \n\nThe Housing Corporation website will tell you which RSLs are active in your Local Authority area. \n\nAsk if your Council operates a Choice-Based Lettings (CBL) scheme— if it does it is good news as you can choose which flats you want to be considered for. But you have to get onto the CHR first to become part of the CBL Scheme.\n\nGood luck.

Yes, I would.  Contact your local Housing Authority to look for housing assistance.

I would suggest you go to London first.... when you get there, let me know.

Over the long haul, you'll make more money renting if the property values are increasing in that area.  HOWEVER, there are risks in renting like shady tenants who don't pay or trash the place, and there is a lot of upkeep in between the tenants that will cost you.  So it's really up to how much work you want to put in.  Also, if you can't find a tenant then you're paying your current rent plus the cost of the flat, so that should be considered.
