Hello.
This is my first post on here so please be kind.
Myself and my wife are looking to buy a house in stafford or in and around that area. It is the perfect location for us as it is smack bang between our two places of work and a nice commute distance for us both.
We are familiar with stafford as we both know the area for social purposes but we don't really know the housing areas and what they are like, besides our first impressions when looking at houses.
We are looking at the moment for 3 bed houses, nothing smaller and have about 180k ish.
We have looked so far in second avenue, corporation road, holmcroft road and parkside area.
Which place out of those do you all on the forum think is the best or might be worth avoiding. We need a bit of advice and help really.
Sorry if this is a lot of questions and requests for a first post, but you could help us out a lot in our search.
Are there any areas to really avoid (drugs, chavs, noise, boy racers, crime, poorly maintained houses, no shops, drinking teens)?
Are there any areas you think our budget might be best spent?
Thanks in advance. I have looked at some of the other threads on this and found some great information, so thought I might ask more personal stuff for me and the wife.
