Buying a home in Durham area
Hi everyone
We are looking to buy a house in the north east, looking predominantly in Durham areas.
We're up in the north east a lot as we have family here, closer to the coast in Sunderland etc.
We love Durham and we hope to buy a tiny place here.
We like the look of Bearpark due to its distance from the centre and looks to be affordable and not too rough?
Am I correct in thinking this?
Are there any other areas you would recommend that are not too expensive but decent for 'outsiders'.
I'd quite like to get to know some people up there too (other than all the family we have there) so I'd like to get a little involved in the community, local pubs etc if at all possible. So that kind of environment would be great. I'm aware there are very few pubs left, I know Bearpark doesn't have one?
Thanks a lot 😊
