    Do you mean that Newcastle has areas that aren't dodgy?

    Oh, it's the wrong Newcastle. If it were 'under-Lyme' I'd be there!

    It's all relative, Bob. There are bits I might consider living in, and there is the house in post 1.

    I left Yorkshire a long time ago because Yorkshire folk are too generous by half for my tastes. This house still looks very expensive for the area.

    Buy it, decorate to the most basic of standards, and rent out to DSS. Newcastle City Council will pay you quite a tidy sum. Looks like a money maker to me.

    I would thoroughly recommend talking to the council first, since if it's anything like I remember in some parts of the north there are masses of unrented DSS flats. In which case you'd be wasting your money.
