Hi im currently in the process of renting a property in brentwood essex has anyone got any advice to what the area is like as since paying the holding fee to the agent ive started hearing horror stories about the area the road we are planning on moving to is lime avenue which is part of something called eastham estate i think,
i have compared crime rates to redbridge where we live now and they seem better but im finding more and more people online saying areas to avoid in brentwood "eastham estate" i was just wondering if anyone has any first hand experiance of this area as im not paying £2000 deposit to move to an area worse than we are now(we are moving due to anti social behaviour and drugs are out of control here) any help advice would be great....
