WestburyRed Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Need some advice as it looks as though the other half may get a teaching job in Bristol (massive bonus for me, we always drive there for football, cinema and shopping anyway) Anyways, fancy moving closer to the City (I'm currently in West Wiltshire), can anyone give us advice on online estate agents or anything to look at? Massive databases like Rightmove are all well and good but locally we use Town and Country, which gives cool stuff like layout plans and a fair few pictures. Any advice appreciated, even just a list of Estate Agents specific to Bristol would be good as then we can investigate further (we hope to be very South of the city as I still need to travel to Trowbridge to work every day, Hengrove, Brislington, Keynsham, anything like that seems reasonable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_84 Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I stumbled accross a few sites the other day when searching for student houses for next year. www.andrewsonline.co.uk www.hbe.co.uk www.besleyhill.co.uk www.morgan-sons.co.uk Not sure if they're any good as i didn't spend long on their sites (not helpful for students), but they may be of some use.

Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 www.annejames.co.uk That estate agent covers such places as Willsbridge, Longwell Green, Oldland and the Rovers mothership - Cadbury Heath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezey Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 WWW.RIGHTMOVE.CO.UK Really good site but make sure you take out SSTC houses else you could be looking through houses that are already sold. Best of luck mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcityup Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Don't move to Yate, Cadbury Heath, Hartcliffe or St Pauls... not going to give the reasons but have you ever been to Iraq? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Oh and what's wrong with Cadbury Heath then? My mrs lives there :Rage: :Rage: :Rage: :Rage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezey Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Don't move to Yate, Cadbury Heath, Hartcliffe or St Pauls... not going to give the reasons but have you ever been to Iraq? Thats a bit harsh mate! Theres nothing wrong with most parts of Bristol, Just different cultures and going ons to what you are used to. I live in Barton Hill which has a really bad reputation, But I have never had any problem, Never been mugged, Never been broken into etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestburyRed Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Cheers for the advice everyone, I only really know Brislington, Longwell Green and a few other places (Cineworld, Ashton Gate and Cribbs Causeway!) so its good to know potentially places to avoid!

bobby Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 got to be south bristol. Been in Bristol since 1984 and lived East, North, Central and South, and S.bristol wins it hands down. Try Windmill Hill, Bedminster and parts of knowle. Or if going East bristol for communting then Fishponds is ok. Depends what you want really and the type of area you is used to living in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestburyRed Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Only got 100k max so it going to be very tight no matter where we go for. Ideally needs to be as south as possible so I can get down to West Wilts as easily as possible, can do my work to AG in an hour in a fair bit of traffic so thats really the limit.

Certainly more choice on houses for under 100k than where I live currently, although for all I know the ones I found could be complete dumps inside! Will register with all the estate agents closer to the time (just waiting on the mrs job now, should know in March), but its been nice to get a rough idea of what is about, thanks.

Hodges17 Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Seriously, do not touch Bedminster, Southmead, Henbury, Withywood, Hartcliffe or Knowle with a 10-foot bargepole. They all have more problems than you can shake a stick at. Horfield is nice though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horfield ain't like Clifton or owt, i agree, but it ain't bad. The Horfield lads play football at the top of the field because they are better! What school r u at?

The Man In Black Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Seriously, do not touch... Southmead... It isn't too bad if you live between Westbury-on-Trym and Southmead, trust me It's just like anywhere in Bristol. You can live in a nice area, but there will always be a bad one a couple of streets down. You just have to play your cards right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
