    Thanks for all the helpful information. I think I really have to go to the areas myself and see what they are like.

    I keep thinking even the bad areas can't be much worse than Dagenham and I've lived here for years now.:rotfl:

    I did see your thread actually and was seeing what people were saying.:)

    We didn't move in the end as I have had some health problems and we didn't want to overextend ourselves with a bigger mortgage.

    My wife still has the Rightmove alerts set up so she is still keeping an eye. It does seem like prices are still rising there.
