Housing Market

[Slab]

Is it not just a sort term bottleneck given that no one could buy /sell for the last 5 months so there is a temporary glut of buyers and sellers who'd planned to move in 2020 and it'll clear through in a month or so

Moving to the country!!

Watching a House the Country for years made me realise just how many people do not research exactly what that means before moving.

Lots of villages with no pub, no post office and quite often not even a local shop any more, no buses or maybe two a day one to the local town at 10 and another one back at 3pm.

Ambulances can takes hours to get to you if you are not considered to be a priority. The police might just phone you a few days later if the do not consider it serious enough.

Cockerills that wake you up at dawn. Church bells that wake you up at 8 am if the cockerill has not worked.

As opposed to emergency sirens blaring between at 2-4pm
Drunks staggering home singing Rule Britainia.
Constant delays on road and rail networks.
Orange sun, air polution.
Beggars /junkies on every street corner.

I live in a nice home counties market town, and don't think that these are a particular issue...
Of course, it's a personal thing, the ultimate ymmv. Personally I love walking to shops, pubs, mates and a railway station.

Oh no!! I just remembered I live in what some consider is a town.

When we moved here 34 years ago before deciding where to live my wife and I spent a day driving from village to village within a 15 mile radius of Yeovil looking at and asking about what each village had.

Since then loads of facilities in some of the villages have closed down.

This is why I have done all I can during lockdown to support my village pub, you don't lose it you lose it.
