Advice on Relocating to Bournemouth area.
I am looking for some advice from the guys based in Hampshire or Dorset.
I am totally fed-up with the cold weather in Edinburgh.
Looking into the idea of relocating to somewhere warmer for 2016.
My wife is a vet nurse and would need to find a job with an job with another orthopedic referral practice.... there seems to be a few in that area that we could approach... but that would have to be sorted first. (If that couldn't happen then would just look moving down there to retire in 2026).
So firstly I want to jump on a plane to Southampton and have a look at some properties.
Can you suggest some areas to consider within 30miles of Bournemouth.
We have two young kids so will be looking for a modern area with a good primary school.
Many thanks.
Lee

Could try Throop/Muscliffe area. Newish modern estate with good amenities and verges on countryside. Main arterial links nearby. I lived there happily for 15 years and my kids went to school there. They still live in Bournemouth and are happy and content.

Hi Lee
I live on the Bournemouth side of Southampton - it's just the New Forest between us. I have a business in Christchurch on the eastern side of the Bournemouth/Poole conurbation.
I assume you've looked at prices, Bournemouth is probably 15% more than Southampton. Mark is right Throop would be as good a place as any to start.
Good luck with your search.

Thank you.
Thank you. Really appreciated. I will have a look at that area.
What is Ringwood like? There is a Vet practice for my wife there. Is there anyplace within 15 miles of there?
All the best

I think Verwood which is close to Ringwood might be worth looking at. I believe the housing there is more reasonably priced.

Thanks Paul. We are in a detached 4 bedroom house with south facing garden here. Was £250k. So hoping to get the same down there. Probably go upto £300k.
You have been super. Will be on rightmove looking tonight.
Though I am also tempted to give Phil and Kirsty a call. My wife loves their C4 relocation programmes.
All the best

Will have to get some new ones made with a different tag line as I can't see there being any demand for a Ceilidh Caller down there.
I am afraid I might be doing a few jobs in yourarea from 2016 if all goes well.
The house prices are dearer than I imagined. The only house I could find that I liked today was on Charlotte Close, Talbot Village, Poole
but it was £400k.
We will come down and have a look later in the year at those areas.

Dorset
2 months of great weather from June to July in Edinburgh got me over my longing to re-locate.....
But now I am worried for the residents of Dorset.
They seem to be getting the worse of the rain and floods just now.
Hope all the DJs on this forum in that area are ok.
