If you could move anywhere in the Midlands, or North of England where would it be

Newcastle, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool or anywhere else?

Need to balance quality of area, expense of rents with availability of jobs in said place. I've been trying to work it out for ages and struggling.
Any suggestions

I live in Derbyshire, borderline Nottinghamshire and I’d love to move to Liverpool. I know nothing about living expenses really, except that I’ve seen a few properties that I could probably afford by myself. I don’t want to live in a city, but maybe on the outskirts since I’ve lived in a small village all my life.

P.S. there’s nothing where I am but fields and the Peak District.

Mud and gloom of the Midlands. Robin Hood land and where I grew up.

Birmingham seems quite attractive if just because of its size and central location.

Some people would say a village in the middle of nowhere is heaven, but if you want nightlife, more job opportunities and stuff to do then I know what you mean. I am not a fan of big cities either, I want to be on the outskirts but near either East Midlands or Liverpool airport as I fly a lot. Newcastle doesn't go one of the places that I travel to unfortunately. I never have met an unfriendly Scouser. Some places around Notts aren't too expensive either.

On a serious note, either Manchester or Nottingham.

I lived in Manchester for four years and just fell in love with the city. I'd give my big left toe to live there again.

I'm happy in Leamington for now, it is beautiful town with wonderful parks. Rent is quite high but worth it for the town.

Birmingham :tongue:

Apart from holidays, I have never set foot outside of London into other parts of England. It will probably be like stepping into the twilight zone for me.

Maybe Cornwall, it looks calm there.

Because the rents and house prices are high there and the airport doesn't have the routes I want. Stoke on trent I considered a few years back but the housing has got expensive there too. And I'm not sure there are many jobs there. Everyone sold it on well it's only an hour to Liverpool and so and so... Might as well be in Liverpool then. Liverpool is expensive now too :confused:
