Being near a motorway, and under the flight path to Heathrow, I wouldn't go looking to move close to a Railway line.

But yes that's the sort of thing. 

4 beds though. Oh and detached. ...with on suite bathroom. In fact, make the garage on suite as well.

Think we're going to be staying put for a while. 

I live near the Paddington line currently, if all trains were electric would not bother me as they are practically silent.

Due to my budget I'm looking at Camberley/Ash/Farnborough myself, as we need rail link and decent motorway access.

Ohh a good garden too, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms ideally. 

Like Camberley, but what we want is usually outside our budget 

My daughter is in Farnborough - Victorian terraced in decent area about £240,000 for 2 beds and £280 ish for 3 beds. Up near Silesian College/Reading Road is not a bad area at all.

Wold be good to see you closer by Chris, it looks like I am going to be saying the area.  The job front has become very interesting and the previous cert has now become second place.  I'll be looking for somewhere in Farnborough or Guildford close to where I can find some office premises

[Sir Tigger KC]

You could always unconvert the extra bedroom!

Can't help here either,average price on my estate for a 4 bed house with double garage £400k+ but most are closer to £500k-£600k,and yes our double garage is a granny annexe and that's why I don't work on my cars outside...to frigging cold and wet,and when the sun shines you get roasted alive.....no pleasing me

[Andy B]

With prices like that darn sarf, I'm glad I live up in't grim North. you could buy a very very nice house up here for £400k

[ted_one]

Have certainly looked at a move north but the houses in Daz's road dont come up very often,would save me a fortune in fuel, ::)Also we keep looking at a move to Spain or Cyprus but with their enconomies struggling were not sure when it will happen if at all

[Doctor Gollum]

Equity value is way higher down here though. A purchase, say 30 years ago, will yealed almost twice as much cash as oop North.

Gives a much larger sum if you downgrade when you retire, or whatever. 


E.g.
A 4bed detached house in South west London suberbs,  35 years ago cost £3,500. Today, £750,000. That house would yield £250k less up there I guess....?

But all thingaps are relative, as they say.

[ted_one]

Don't forget Chris they're starting to build the first of 2 thousand houses 1/2 mile from me,butting up to the A329M...and as the corrupt Reading council have said they are going to be 'affordable' oink! oink! NOT!!

You can get yourself a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom detached house with double garage and still have change from £250K in Cornwall http://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/detailMatching.html?prop=24116517&sale=48805127&country=england

Currently looking Crowthorne/Sandhurst way. A few but don't like the house that comes with it.

You moving next to Roger Budden then? 

[ted_one]

Hmm,looking at that price,think I might sell this house and buy that one then pocket the difference which would be about the same again,then move and don't leave a forwarding address so the kids can't get their hands on my newly aquired pension fund...might leave them the Omegas as I will be driving a Dodge Viper down in Cornwall

You know what, I was thinking to myself, this road looks familiar....

....and blow me there was his house. All sorts of boats and jet skis and and cars in the drive.

That's interesting. Bit of a commute, but I mean the interior. No clutter, at all. Like its been done up to sell. Minimal ornaments. Precisely placed vases etc, like a new build show home. But a very well established garden. ...?

[TheBoy]

I want the house 2 doors down, which has just sold again.

But the asking price was more than I would be prepared to pay, just to gain a double garage.

Yes you mentioned that before iirc. But as all things are relative, if yours is worth more than you thought, it may not be so expensive after all. If yours is worth more than you thought of course.

Otherwise, tend to agree. It ain't cheap.
