Birmingham - where's good and where's bad?

[Hellsbells]

yeah, I feel quite bad for even thinking that (about kicking tenants out & getting new ones, I mean) I can't imagine myself realistically being able to do that & live with myself.

I wasn't planning on committing 100% to living in the property I buy. It's more an investment at this stage, & a way of getting on the property ladder. Anyway, it seems unlikely to happen now anyway. At least for several years.

I like Moseley but getting in and out of it is a pain in the arse. The traffic at rush hour can be a nightmare.

I lived in Moseley for a year, and my commute was from there to the uni. Normally I'd get the bus, and it would normally be OK - except for wednesdays, when there would always be much, much more traffic on the roads.

Remember that if you never live in it, you will need to pay capital gains tax when you come to sell.
