My son will be looking for his first house this summer, he wont be looking at Tamworth or Burton.
What sort of budget are we talking ? What sort of property ? What sort of community ?
"Good" places IMHO, Lichfield, Whittington, Alrewas, Barton, Fradley, all are probably more expensive than Tamworth.
Up and coming, and good VFM - Albert Village, Castle Gresley, Swadlincote.
Where I fancy ? Repton, Melbourne, Aston on Trent, Weston on Trent, Ashby, Yoxall, Kings Bromley, Abbots Bromley.
hth.

If I leave him to it he will buy a house between a curry house and a pub.

Any thoughts on Tamworth?
As opposed to Gloucester Old Spot?:D0 -
Lovely breed, great diggers, good meat, usually nice temperament.
The place? Just driven past it but Google street view & up my street are useful.
Best of luck!0
