You'd love it Robin, top brands and you can snag discounts up to 90% if you have a good look around. It's huge so takes quite a while to walk around, I always found I needed a glass of wine halfway through it :lol:

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?
 

My friends are set on a move to either Manchester or Birmingham. I get the impression both areas would work and the school systems are top notch based on their research. My wife and I kind of hope they pick Manchester but either way we'll be happy for them. I do know his favorite football team is in Manchester. I told him it's not selfish to be loyal. lol

They seem to like several style of home. She would like a home with a old fashion kitchen with all the conveniences and a few common areas. He is looking for a house on a large lot. Their dream home would be built of mostly stone but with their budget that goal might be asking for too much. And they are already stretching their original budget. They both want large fireplaces and deep bath tubs. I've told both of them you get what you pay for and a home is where you spend much of your time so why not look for comfort.

They heard from their real estate agent about a few rentals, so the process has officially begun. A little too soon but at least moving in the right direction. Time goes by very fast.. And they are open to buying quickly depending on the situation. They would rather wait a few months but time will tell.

Hi, most homes are built of stone here in the uk, glad to hear your friends have narrowed the Search down, that makes it easier. It all depends on their budget really, there plenty of homes with their wish list, it all depends though on what they can actually afford. I hope all goes well with their plans.

Finding a spacious house with character is an achievable goal but locating the idea property might take them a while. Either way their still going to be down sizing compared to the previous stateside home that was 5000 square feet. But they will learn to adjust. Always trade offs. Maybe finding a large stone house in their budget could be difficult but a house partially of stone is very possible.

I totally agree. That property would be so much better if the lot was bigger and had more privacy. Btw, my friends are back in the States made it home safely. And our dog sitting duties came to a end. We watched both their little pets for them.
