Boostin' Kev Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Always considered Newhaven just a bit too quiet and far from the centre for me but that'll change very quickly. Very good option when the trams are connected whenever that'll be. Loads of development work going on around Ocean Terminal in anticipation of the trams. Honest Man have you considered the Joppa end of Portobello? Not for me personally but becoming very popular with ex New Town residents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were fat, ugly unhealthy people everywhere. A terrible place devoid of hope and prosperity. Not a job or a piece of fruit to be seen. You could link that sentence in bold to just about any small town in Scotland IMO. You're right on the jobs though, aside from the MoD base that employs over 3,500 people there isn't a job in sight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Doesn’t [mention]Throbber[/mention] live there?I’m not far away from there, bit closer to town. I am wanting to buy a house out of town but the value of my flat is going up so much I don’t really want to get rid of it. If I sold it now it would go for £50- £60k more than what I paid for it in 2014. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Don’t do it. Well I want a house as there’s not much room in the flat for a family. Not an easy decision but I can’t live there forever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the Ladyboys of Bangkok was going to get set up in Pilrig Park for the Fringe this year, unbelievable how quickly the area's changing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brexit uncertainty is definitely an issue but the bottom half of Leith Walk is quickly transforming into an extension of the city centre and the tram extension will increase that even further. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rent it out and and as part of the rental agreement make sure it’s free all of August each year and you’re onto a winner especially if you’re fairly close to town. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just picture him strutting about town like a diet Shandon Par once he starts coining it in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
