    This is inside the M60, in Salford. ;)

    Do you really live here? :cool:


    Yup live in Salford, have done for the majority of my adult life.
    Sit here with the windows open trying to keep cool listening to some t0$$er ride his scrambler up and down the road at 50mph. No doubt the local pond life will be out later looking for some open windows to climb through to pinch a car or two. Lovely place. And don't even get me started on that joke that is now the biggest bus lane in the world, sorry I mean the A580..

    Could be worse, it could be Ordsall. The lovely area next to Salford Quays.

    I can recommend Macclesfield South Manchester. We've just sold our 2 bed semi for £126k and for £200 k you could get a nice 3 bed semi. It's 1hr40 direct to London on the train and 20 minutes to Manchester. Hills and forrests on your doorstep :)

    Nearer to Surrey way - it depends on what area of Surrey you wish to be near. I would suggest looking at somewhere like Crawley or Redhill which both have good links to London.

    Here's one in Crawley http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-50504605.html albeit at £220k
    matched betting: £879.63
