Living in Tonbridge

While researching areas to move to, we’ve found little reviews of towns found on the internet were vital – especially when we started looking in Wiltshire and Somerset – places we hardly knew at all. So, now that we are leaving it, here’s my thoughts on Tonbridge; having lived here for 30 years, I feel qualified enough to tell you!

Estate agents in Cornwall

It is probably difficult to choose an estate agent, so here’s my experiences from a buyers point-of-view. Some of these will only be relevant for the Newquay to Truro areas.

Moving to Cornwall

After over three years of planning to move to Cornwall (from Kent), we have well and truly decided we are not buying a house there. It is simply too expensive – ridiculously so if you’re after an old place with beams and inglenooks like I am. (Not so bad if you’re after a new build). Our problem is we need somewhere big enough for two of us to work from home. Anyway, after so long researching and house-hunting, I can offer a bit of advice if you’re planning on relocating to Cornwall and aren’t sure of areas.

Not of the warm woolly kind; more of the jumping from one place to another kind – you know the ones. A film directed by Doug Liman.

The hassle and the waiting; the waiting and the hassle. Oh to have a day where I don’t have to make 10 phonecalls chasing people up.
