Where do you want to live?

As well as finding an area to live in where you can afford to buy a home, it’s also sensible to make sure that you like the neighbourhood and that it’ll suit your lifestyle. For example, if good transport links, schools and things like shops and a sports centre are important to you, does it have these close by? Also think about things like whether you want your family and friends around you and also if you feel safe in the neighbourhood you’re thinking about living in.
