Hi Everyone

We have exhausted most areas in the UK for the property market stupid prices where we originated from New Forest area, we want to move back as we have a small baby now and living in Spain just isnt working for us, do any of you know if my hubby would get work doing Hard landscaping, drives patios fencing etc, this would be our worry we would rent first but then buy if we liked it there give us a chance to look round at areas etc, any info would be greatly recieved

Hiya

Thanks for your input, very kind, I have looked through for a long time now and YES I agree there are some very nice properties for a very reasonable price in that area, also it does look nice, I guess where there are houses people need some kinda work on their garden, driveway, patios etc, this is the only concern we have as my hubby would be self employed, thanks again, anyone else have any input for work mentioned in the Lincolnshire areas Thanks in advance

Lulu,

Lincolnshire is a big county, do you have any idea on location?

Bourne / Spalding may be good for your other half, lots of established housing, reasonable income levels, so should be ok work wise.

You may find housing for yourself to be more costly than other parts of Lincs, but depends on what you want. Some of the villages between Spalding / Bourne / Stamford / Peterborough could be a good target.

Hi Pete

Thanks for that, we were looking at the Sleaford area, but now you have told me this, I have already been looking and it appears to be a good area I see you were in Peterborough once, anyway thanks aagin.

Around Sleaford you get quite a few RAF families so it would be a good area for self-employed work. There has also been quite a big influx of people from London moving up to this area too, especially between Sleaford and Grantham because they can still commute to London.

Hi Lulu........ I'm from north Lincolnshire, and will soon be heading back Obviously the further north you go the cheaper the houses. Have you tried goggling for Landscapers in the Lincolnshire area??? Maybe you will see some gaps........just a thought

Lincolnshire, one of the best places to live in the UK. Love it there. Warm folk, nice environment. Spent a lot of time in Oakham and Stamford and then Lincoln itself. Excellent times. If I ever moved back to the UK, I would not be far from Lincs.

Icarus

its an fab place , in a way .... close to everything yet far enough away from everything too .

busterboy

Dear Chum...if it is your home, you never see it quite in the same way as people who arrive there. I am amazed when when people think Edinburgh is fab!

Icarus

never been to Edinburgh ... but i'm off there soon for a few days

Icarus

how are you BB ?
