Hi all
New to posting, but been an avid HPCer for a while now and while I don't have the wit and skills to post in the main forums, I thought I'd put a feeler out for some specific help area wise. Currently renting "down south" have been for years. When houses were vaguely affordable I didn't have the money / job to "buy" and as they started to soar the thought of owing all that money just didn't make sense, so like many here I'm hoping they will adjust to sensible levels. Thinking hard about a career and life change and moving to Derbyshire. I have some cash rotting away under the low IR from an inheritance and will buy outright if possible. I know Derbyshire a little coming from South Yorks but specific town areas are an unknown. Any advice, thoughts, places to avoid, and the general flavour out there? One anecdotal from a friend of a friend says that there are a lot of repos in Matlock - but how true this is I dont know. TBH I'm pretty green to all this business - having been priced out for so long and switching off each time a friend starts rattling on about when they "bought their house" I've missed the main travails of the purchasing aspect. Needless to say such friends have now gone very quiet. Anyway, any help would be great
