Jess, Suffolk: "Ipswich... the uni will open in the Autumn and demand for smaller properties will hold. A big growth area."
Nobby, Devon: "Weymouth... with the Olympic sailing events coming to Portland in 2012, house prices will soar."

Holywell, Flintshire. Thus far a relative backwater is now being 'discovered' by a new group looking for a small market town feel with great links to the major centres of Chester, the Wirral, Liverpool and Manchester. The Town offers a range of property at affordable (but rising) prices. Over the last few years the town has seen the emergance of new supermarkets, despite which, the independent outlets and market in the pedestrianised town centre continues to thrive. The newly opened district hospital is another great asset.
In addition to some sought after vistas, Holywell enjoys a genuinely warm provincial welcome sadly long lost by other towns.

Biddulph, Staffordshire Moorlands is a good value for money location that is always overlooked.
Set in an attractive valley, it is surrounded by beautiful scenery and has beautiful views from Biddulph Moor across to the Cheshire plain on one side and the Peak District on the other side.
The town is 9 miles from Stoke-on-Trent and is good value for money in comparison with Congleton, Cheshire which is essentially flat and without the views. Biddulph is a very clean and tidy town and recently won Gold in the national Britain in Bloom competition for the hard work its local in Bloom group has put in to brighten up the Town with attractive floral displays . The nearest railway station is Congleton (3miles) and Manchester is 25 minutes away . By car Manchester is 40 minutes away. Have a look at Biddulph, you will be pleasantly surprised. Why not also visit the well known National Trust Garden at Biddulph Grange?
You can quench your thirst after visiting the garden at the attractive Talbot Pub a short distance away on Grange road. ST8 is very much underrated!

Lewisham - it's cheap as chips in zone 2 of london - and is set to benefit from 200 million investment in the town centr. great transport links, parks, lovely victorian houses and conversion flats - a gastro pub is opening round the corner from where I live so things are on the up!

Does anyone have any views on Plymouth as an area to invest in? In particular, which parts are worth looking at?
Mutley is where the students live and Devenport is a rough area to live in where the navy are based. The Hoe and the Barbican are lovely and there was a new shopping centre built last year.

The huge new Westfield development in White City, London, is sure to generate interest in the area especially to cosmopolitan types.

Rochester - 45 mins into London, probably THE best house prices in the South-East, and when the high-speed rail links through Ebbsfleet get started next year, there'll be a massive range of journey options in London. Rochester High St is also beautiful with no chain shops - hurrah!
