My first house was a choice between Gorton or Burnage. Had to stretch a bit for Burnage.Oh it’s no offence mate I don’t live in any of the aforementioned areas. But we all have to start somewhere and that’s not gonna be Didsbury or Chorley Cum Hardy. They are where you end up when you have worked for 10-20yrs in a good job and your salary and your partners has grown accordingly.
You would never lose your house to cover your care costs.
Once you are dead that’s a different matter.
Yes, the social housing situation is a scandal really. We need to build many thousands, yet govs of both persuasions have ducked this.Can only claim for 2 children now if born after 2017 and the benefit cap is 25k roughly. They aren't rich and the waiting list for council houses are ridiculous, you have people who live in council houses on their own who haven't downsized and families of 4 stuck in 2 bed flats.
Fine housing on an old football pitch thereabouts, I believe. Whatever happened to that club?What the fuck you on about, new 3 bed semi in a decent area £250k minimum I wouldn’t count Moss side as a decent area. If you want to start off there then at a cheaper rate that’s what people should be doing but they won’t because they see the Instagram generation and want it all now.
No idea mate, but their fans are a good bunch.Fine housing on an old football pitch, I believe. Whatever happened to that club?
My son bought a house on the outskirts of Bradford two years ago. Nice area. Largish detached three bedrooms, two bathrooms, three toilets, decent garden, cul de sac. It’s excellent. Price £165,000.It does depend on your definition of affordable, but looking on Rightmove there are certain a fair few terraced houses for sale in Failsworth, Gorton, Openshaw and Moston for around £120-140k.

Bradford not popular with Yorkshire middle classes, not sure why (cough). It’s an ill wind etc.
Don’t know exactly as market volatile at the mo. I would certainly expect it to hold its own at least even tho’ prices generally are falling. Similar houses in the area are snapped up quickly.How much it worth now?
I agree adequate insurance is important. Maybe I am misunderstanding but I didn't think health care insurance covered long term 'care' costs. Most policies have built in limits for each category. Its more for acute medical conditions such as hip replacement. Thats the type of insurance we have and more and more I am questioning its worth, particularly given our experience with cancer treatment. Sorry if I am misreading what you are saying and thanks for your best wishes - she is completing radiotherapy this week.Hope your wife will be back to her old self soon, I agree the NHS is the best it was the jewel in the crown but depending where you live it’s very hit and miss. Cancer seems to be an area that is funded properly as I found out recently if you have a lump or funny mole it’s fast tracked.
It costs thousands if you need long term care, accidents serious injuries and you need long term health care. I‘m sorry we didn’t make private health insurance a priority £67 thousand for one year a home carer to come out to the house after a serious accident.
Buying your own home is obviously important but adequate insurance is just as important.
