I was wondering what it’s like to live in holbeach? Looking at a new build estate that looks lovely but we don’t know the area very well. Anything in particular we should be mindful of?

As the title says, really!

It looks like a quiet village and I like that Grantham is right next door with all the larger shops and train station but how is Barrowby for:

• Antisocial behaviour, including anyone with modified cars
• Traffic noise, including sirens
• Rowdy, noisy kids (I know this will vary from street to street but generally)
• How rubbish and other matters are handled by the local authority?

Also, who makes up the population? Older, retired folk? Young families?

Any particularly positive points, e.g. community spirit/community get togethers, that sort of thing?

I'm not bothered about nightlife at all, after living all my life in London I need peace and quiet!!

Thanks for any insights anyone can offer.

Hello Lincolnshire!

Anyone know of a big car park in the GY or Clee area that's likely to be mostly empty in the early evenings?

I've said I'll take my friend out driving as she's never learned and is super nervous about starting lessons, hoping if I can help her get familiar with the basics she'll feel confident to get booked in with an instructor.

She's very worried about accidentally crashing into something and wrecking my car (unlikely since we'll be travelling at 5mph in a broad circle but there you are) but just for peace of mind I'm looking for somewhere that's as empty as possible sort of 7/8pm on weeknights.

Thanks! :)

Hi all, i am looking to secure a mortgage for a ‘residential property with a commercial element’. high street lenders dont offer any products that seem to suit, so it would seem i need a broker to act on my behalf to try and get a mortgage manually underwritten to suit my situation.

Has anyone got any recommendations for brokers who may be able to help? my PAYE income more than passes affordability checks on the property, so i am in no way reliant on any potential income. i also have a larger deposit at 20% of the property price. fundraising to 25% potentially possible but rather avoided!

any advice welcome. Thanks :)

Hello!

Currently live in central Lincoln and looking to move, but the rents here are extortionate so I’m looking slightly further afield for cheaper rents.

I currently live alone and have no plans to move in with anyone right now (thanks to the old neurodivergence I struggle with strangers, and I’m in the early days of dating so that’s not on the table right now). I also do not drive, and use buses and trains to get around.

My job is technically remote but can into the office if I want to, which is in the middle of town in Lincoln.

I honestly don’t do too much, and spend a lot of time on my own anyway unless I see friends or boyfriend, but wanted to know what Market Rasen is like for someone in my kind of situation as I can’t figure out currently whether it would make me even less social if I move further out away from my current circle.

I’m also considering other areas such as north/south hykeham, Wragby, Saxilby, etc. but just making my way through the list and comparing rent rates.

A long shot but worth an ask. I’m looking to buy 1-3 acres of farmland/woodland/disused land. If anyone has any leads or is looking to sell please let me know. Thank you

Could anyone suggest which beach would be the best with a parking close to the beachside? Our elderly parents visiting us and since it's going to be another hot day tomorrow we are looking for a beach with a parking close by. Looking for a beach with sand dunes and lovely views. Planning to arrive on an early morning.

I found that Marsh yard would be the best option regarding parking but is it beautiful enough?

We will be coming from Lincoln and wondering if there are any other places we could stop by for a very quick view. Not planning long walks.

Many thanks!

Ive heard that lincolnshire is a major hub of tabletop games and boxed games like cards against humanity. Im having trouble finding a gaming club that isnt uphill though. Does anyone know of any gaming groups in downhill lincoln or north Hykeham?

Hi does anyone know anywhere I can go for a decent sports massage I have sciatic issues and told a sports massage would potentially do wonders anywhere near lincoln or sleaford
