    G15 - Upland struggle.

    Totally incorrect assessment, because it makes no distinction between farming locals and well-healed educated incomers purchasing properties without borrowing.

    Mine 'could not be found in our database' according to Experian. Probably because it's a new estate.

    Type F24: Garden Suburbia
    Garden Suburbia is particularly common in outer London suburbs, and is characterised by quiet residential streets. These areas were built during the 1930s and 1950s and are convenient for people to commute by train to white-collar jobs in city centres. Most of the houses are semi-detached, often half timbered in a neo-Elizabethan style, with garages and reasonably spacious gardens. The appeal of these neighbourhoods is that they offer a comfortable venue for family life without the need for expensive and time consuming long distance commuting – they don’t appeal to those who want to live in a vibrant, mixed community within easy reach of restaurants, coffee bars, specialist delicatessens and late night buses.
    Whereas twenty years ago these streets would have been occupied mostly by empty nesters and pensioners, these areas are now rejuvenating and are once again becoming attractive to families. They are also becoming more diverse in the occupational groups they attract, and appeal to people who run small local service businesses as well as office workers in large companies and government departments.


    Pretty much bang on other than the mock timber bits.
