Wish you were here?

Is it worth living in Heaton Moor? Most emphatically - Yes! The national rail and motorway networks are on the doorstep, and we're fifteen minutes from an international airport. I can be in London in just over two hours, and Malaga in three. Is that enough? If you live in a small terraced house (such as bachelor's paradise in Mount Road) your investment of £120K two or three years ago is now coming up to £200K, And if you have one of the large Victorian houses with its original features, you could be looking at £750. Meanwhile the price of luxury flats has actually been depressed because of speculative building. So in the prestige block where I live there are four two-bedroomed, two-bathroomed apartments for sale at the moment in the £200K-plus bracket. Now is the time to pick up a bargain. And Tesco is open until 11.00pm.
