Re: An update in the moving back process

We are enjoying it. I think we might consider buying closer to Chorlton as we prefer the town centre there but for the moment we can't fault Sale.

Are you coming over from NZ in May?

Re: An update in the moving back process

We love being back. I got a job in November that fits completely with my values so I couldn't wish for more.

Re: Has anyone brought a TV home

Brought my Pioneer Kuro back with us and no issues at all. Did have to get a converter for the rear lighting system I had bought for it but I needed one for my Yamaha receiver anyway so no big deal.

Re: Back home/new home

Glad you are settling in. We brought Rusty over on the QM2 with us so I think that helped reduce the anxiety and he has settled in quickly.Couch scenario sounds familiar. We were lucky to be able to...

Well we've been in Sale for a month now and are really liking it.

I see a Sale reunion in your futures :)

Re: Any thoughts/experience with Sale, Gtr. Manchester?

We got a rental on Derbyshire Road South and he goes to Sale High School.

We hope to buy in the area in a couple of years time (subject to prices and mortgage rates :( )

Re: Any thoughts/experience with Sale, Gtr. Manchester?

Our fave place so far. So peaceful sitting by the canal and drinking a pint of real ale.

Do you get back here at all? Would love to buy you a pint at the KR to say hello.

Thanks.

We will be driving through there on the 23rd I expect so will try to get a feel for it. Will be speaking with letting agents too.

Any thoughts/experience with Sale, Gtr. Manchester?

It's on our list of good commute time and good schools.

We'll be going to take a look in about two weeks but wanted to know if anyone has recent experience of the Sale area?

Thanks.
