It's more difficult to find a 'nice area' without knowing the area.

Deanos postcode just shows this 'I wish i lived up north attitude' is a lot of rubbish.

No you can't get a 4 bedroom with a double garage in your parents street for 150k, you can go to the not as good surrounding areas the same as anywhere else though, ie Scotland, The North and get one for cheap, the same as the majority of the country.

Granted there are properties. But within a 5 mile radius as I wouldn't want to particularly move that far, there is nothing.

Try the lake district. Thats up north and certainly isn't what I would call a cheap place to get a house

I've done my own research and no places in the immediate vicinity are really expensive. I was merely showing you lot except you went as far a field as Luton
