Possible move to Carlisle ??

[Sam99]

Hello All,

Im seeking some advice, please.
I lived in Chester for many years, quite happy, and then moved to Aberdeen for the last 3 years.
Not happy.

I am going to move South again, and am considering Carlisle.
Im single with no kids. Employment is not an issue as I will still work off-shore.
Near the Lakes, spent many a happy time there.

So, Carlisle

Your thoughts??
Pros ?
Cons ?
Good areas to buy a house ?
Areas to avoid ..

To be honest, I may just move there and rent for 6 months.
Any serious advice, comments would be greatly appreciated.

Sam

OP - Your finances might dictate where you end up living round here, there's a big price difference between a house in Carlisle and one in Penrith, it gets worse as you move more into the central lakes.
If your just renting for six months or whatever at a time then move around to find the place that feels like home

Thanks for the advise.
I've had a look at Brampton . via the web, so I might give that a go.
Not too sure about it though , as I am a city blike at heart.

Thanks all for your comments.
