Advice on where to live..

[bluestreak56]

Am I missing something, but you'll continue to live with parents? You're talking about children etc? Surely you'd want to live on your own in a smaller more manageable place?

My grandparents lived in a 6 bedroom house near Virginia Water and needed phones to find each other. Not ideal really, most of the time they were in a 10 square metre study with a tiny TV and books. Get an apartment in London, a manageable house for parents with support for grandparents (2 house plot).

What am I missing?

Yes its the normal culture in Indian families, the eldest child continues to live with his parents and can then look after them when they get a bit older. Also helps will building relationships with grandchildren and looking after them while they grow up. But yes this is an option. Thing is we either leave now or in 10-15 years time as the kids will become attached.

Dont want to live in London its far too noisy, busy, etc.

Also remember flight paths have a habit of changing...

the Gatwick ones changed last year, and are about to change back (if not already).

Our old house used to suffer alot from the Gatwick traffic, but our current one doesn't - odd because it is just 250 metres (seriously) north of the old one...

also about 30 minutes from either London Bridge or London Victoria, where are we - Redhill right under that blue line on the flight path map you showed above, so as others have said I wouldn't focus so totally on flight paths...

Great point, especially with the likely expansion of Heathrow's 3rd runway and who knows Terminal 6!

Can't quite manage £2m but am seriously thinking of splashing out on this - locality magic , no flight path and very quiet in the winter - bit of a bugger to get back to London but who wants to go back there !
