...and I would say, Manchester being much more a young person’s place to live as well...so much to offer you that Guernsey, with all of its beauty...doesn't have...

Wot??? No you're saying that the prices were "extortionate" in Guernsey when they are literally the same as London

I'm not sure what Guernsey is like to live in, but hearing from a bunch of people that Manchester is AWFUL to live compared to London, even for a cheaper price

I had no idea DouglasS was such a massive fan of Gaga.

Middle ground is probably Liverpool though. LOVELY city compared to Manchester and way cheaper than London

Exactly, and tbh the “beauty” aspect of it wears thing very quickly, going to the beach every weekend gets boring

That’s just means the prices in London are extortionate too

Ok well I’m not going to take the opinion to too many alcoholic hostel dwellers seriously but thanks for your input all the same

Hostels are better in London too, it seems like you're interested!

Not really for everything that you get. If you live for one week in Manchester you have seen all it has to offer.

Surely that's just rental? Mortgages would be cheaper? Like I had a quick look and most houses are "only" ~£100k more than their equivalents here...

Come to Northants!! Much nicer+cheaper+safer than Mancs!

[caprimint]

Btw you can even find places that cheap in London too. Which is 1. better location, 2. better/cheaper (mostly) transport, 3. better lifestyle.

All you have to do is look in the right places. It's really not that hard

The average price for a house here is £430k and that’s an increase of almost £20k in one year alone. And when the average house over here is two bedrooms it’s ridiculous

The hate towards Manchester in this thread is heinous lmao
Go on Smithy! Manchester can be a mess but you will have a good time. Drug dealers are everywhere so you won't struggle for long to become the life of the party.

That's got nothing to do with it. The cost of living is very expensive regardless of what the city offers. You don't "get London" for the cost of your rent, that is just one expenditure.

If he's moving because of the cost of living he's not gonna move somewhere just as or more expensive.

Ahhh okay. That's a shame, it has so much to offer

Even really beautiful/convenient places on the suburbs if you don't like city life etc

Nope it's not, as I said in my previous post. It is very debatable as to where you move in London because the variety is so wide.

Great opportunities for pretty much everything in London tbf.
