I moved out 3 years ago. Now in the East Midlands. No regrets. Just takes longer when visiting family in London. However can take train into London in 90 mins.
@reduitman Nice to hear comments like these... Yes, no regrets here. I appreciate some parts of London more now that I have moved out. But living in London is worse than the Midlands. I am in East Midlands, too. So many have moved from London to here already. I drive up and down but it is roughly every 2 months so doesn't really impact me. If I were in London my mortgages and payments would be sooo much higher otherwise.
People living in London are silly! You get pretty much the same salaries if you’re towards midlands (& if you’re a professional). Peace, quiet and a more human life. And you end up saving. £££
Hii thanks for your comment. I understand what you are saying. I grew up in London and I think the hard thing is the fear of moving out. That is why people struggle to make the move. Also, being afraid of being far from family, etc. But yes, overall, it is way, way better for everything I mentioned in this video and more!😊
Hi 👋 ... I was thinking of doing a Video on this topic 🤔 But to give you just a few points in this comment. Use a mortgage broker as they will give you the best rate for your circumstances. They will also decrease your chances of getting declined. Personally, I would recommend looking outside of London. The value is better and I think it will grow faster than London in the future. But this is only my opinion. When you are viewing a house, look for damp areas near the window and in bedrooms. Also, look at the roof of houses to see if the roof looks very old as this can cost you £10,000 - £15,000. Check if the property is a listed building and if there are any large cracks in the walls and if the floor is levelled or not. Try to always stick to Freehold, as they are generally best long term and they are easier to remortgage in the future. Try your best not to offer too high for a property as you might be overpaying. Hope the above tips help you a little more until I do a video on this topic! Do you have any specific questions you want to ask that we might also be able to answer from our experience. 😃
Hii, Midlands is a very large area.... but you are looking at a 1 hr 45 min to 2hr travel by car. Train would be roughly an hour to get into London but your Mortgage will be much, much lower and your house would also be bigger for the money !
@ary6039 East midlands is where we are based, I previously looked at places like Birmingham and Nottingham, but I did not like them as much to live. But it all depends on what you like and where you can travel frol etc too.

If you could elaborate what things to keep in mind for house search for first time buyers would be great 😊
