Moving to St Leonards

[anne]

Thanks for your replies. Went back on a visit again and have decided to just go with my instincts and carry on with the buying process. Everything changes_ _ _. the only time my car was jemmied into was when it was parked in the smartest area of Knightsbridge_ _ _..

Hi Anne, you might find this interesting https://www.facebook.com/7StreetsProject

Stockleigh Road is one of the seven street. The council is really trying to improve this area. People are moving down from London and buying in St Leonards. I walk down those roads all the time and the only problem I've noticed is rubbish. Partly this is because of lack of bin space and seagulls. These issues are being addressed by the council.
I think going with your gut instinct is the way to go, if you walk around the area you can tell pretty quickly what it's like and whether it's somewhere you could live.
