Moving to Liverpool, advice?

My advice?

Don't go.

Never ever take a car to Scouse land. Them theivin' buggers will have the tyres off before you've even parallel parked...

I live in liverpool, people always make jokes about it saying it's a **** hole and full of crime. But un my experience that's not the case. I feel very safe here, it's a great affordable place to live with everything you need at your doorstep.

If you're looking for somewhere to live but can't afford/ don't want to live in the city centre then I reccommend the L15/ wavertree area. Many lovely houses and flats, safe area and all necassary shops close.

If you don't want to live in the "rough" areas then avoid toxteth and croxteth. Though I've lived in both those areas and never had a problem.

Not all scouse women wear tonnes of make up no but it is common on nights out.

Thank you I've never lived on my own before, are there any good places to find a landlord who won't need references from past landlords?

I'll avoid those thanks, are there any more rough areas?

Yes they seem so glamorous with all the blonde hair and heavy makeup

Im not sure, as I've only had experience with student housing so doubt I could be much help there.

Not that I can think of, I currently live in the Kensington L7 area which is a lower class area. But wouldn't say it's crime ridden, just poor

Oh ok. Is Liverpool cheap enough that you can get your own studio/bedsit or do people usually flat share like they do in London?

I don't mind if an area's poor or not, live in one in Bristol haha. So long as its safe

There are some affordable 1 bed flats, but I think most people flat/ houseshate.

I've found it safe

I lived in Wavertree and in Kensington.

Just a heads up about Wavertree, L15 area, it is a student area. That means not only is it brilliant if you are a student, but as the locals know it too, there are a fair few break ins there. Be smart with your place. Don't leave pizza boxes lying everywhere, make sure windows are shut, don't leave valuables easily seen in the window, etc. Basically, don't draw attention to yourself!

Have a warm jacket

Is it very cold in winter?

I don't know if racism is a problem as I haven't lived there (though I know the city fairly well), but I wouldn't describe Liverpool as multicultural as such. It's largely white, much more so than other main cities. I don't really think there'll be any bother in that respect though, and I have found Liverpudlians to be friendly on the whole.

Yes, right on the coast. It's roughly 6 degrees colder than London and the South East and with added wind-chill, it can sometimes be a couple of degrees colder.

Where are you moving from?

I lived in Liverpool for a time, it's quite cold compared to the South

More so than say Manchester or Edinburgh?

Yeah they do seem friendly



Bristol, which is quite warm

More so than say Manchester or Edinburgh?

Yeah they do seem friendly
