the countdown begins....
Hello people!
We've got the visas and sold the house so all that remains is to move to Christchurch and live happily ever after
Well that's the theory! We are a family of four. Joanna, Mike and our 2 boys, aged 14 & 12. We are planning to travel over in September. After such a harsh winter, I'm determined to enjoy spring & summer here in blighty
We have trawled the internet ad nauseum for properties, but in truth we are unsure of the best areas to settle. We like the look of Avonside? If any of you can recommend suitable areas to base our search I would be most grateful. We have also viewed places online in Rolleston, Leeston & Little River but I am concerned that these places may be a little remote?
We would like a livelyish community with lots going on for teenagers.
Thanks for reading this. Look forward to hearing from the experts!

Hope you also end up in Christchurch! I was born in Manchester so we may have something in common. I've spent most of my adult life in the south of England (both children born in Oxford). My husband is from Jersey. Currently residing near Ramsbottom, Bury.
Nice to hear from you

Re: the countdown begins....
Flibberty how come you get compliments on your name and I don't?
Actually don't answer that.
We stayed in Christchurch for two nights last year while 'doing' the tranzalpine. We had a hotel room right in the central square, which was nice. Certainly would be a place I would consider living, though Wellington seems more likely for us at the moment due to family connections. I suspect there's a lot more in Christchurch than I had a chance to see.

Re: the countdown begins....
Hello,
Welcome I'm moving to Tauranga - flight booked -28th of July Have only spent one night in Christchurch, on a whistle stop tour of South Island, so not much help here.
Hope all goes well with the move.
