Am toying with the idea of moving from Kent to become mortgage free. Norfolk/Suffolk area seems favourite in terms of value for money/area but not knowing the area what are the places to avoid.

Need good local schools.

Cheers, John

Lowestoft, Gt Yarmouth, Within 3 miles of Nervy's house, Southwold (only on cost and 50%+ are 2nd homes type grounds)

Depends on what you are looking for, ie City, Town or County life.

You might like to look at Loddon as I hear the schools there aren't bad.

If your interested in a 4 bed in the middle of the countryside, acre paddock at about £340k you might like to let me know... will del this bit if any mods think i should

I shall be in Norfolk this weekend, near Swaffham (place with big windmills).

I am a little nervy (see what I did there?), as I haven't had my vaccinations.

There are genuinely some really nice bits in Norfolk...

Norwich (where I live) is quite a nice place but is becoming increasingly annoying to try and drive through/around - traffic lights/traffic calming/junctions/bus lanes/one way madness everywhere...

Stay in the rural parts and you'll be just fine

Cheers so far peeps. If things pan out then it would be something with a bit of land - about an acre or so, would prefer village life rather than big town but outskirts of town ok too.

Cheers, John

Try this on the East Anglian forum. There are lots of lovely places, but they may be either very expensive (Chelsworth) or in the middle of nowhere (Bacton).

You’ll be ok. Just don’t let any of the locals bite you.
