any of our welsh boys live in bridgend?

[peter richards]

if you do i need some general info .

 

thanks peter

[nevins]

just down the road from me mate, what you need to know, also worked the area.

[peter richards]

seems quite a big place , are there any areas to avoid , as in living there .

like if you asked that about swansea i could list a few places not to go to , if you see what i mean

[nevins]

The areas that I have worked in aint bad at all but then was some where I took a 3 man team so 1 stayed with the van while we were in the house. But that was a council estate.

[peter richards]

name these areas mate as i havnt a clue

[nevins]

Basically tends to get rougher on the other side of the m4 towards the valleys. Keep away from brackla at all costs lol

[peter richards]

what about broadlands ?

[nevins]

nice area mate, it was tagged as a middle class respectable area in work

[peter richards]

going to look at a house there this weekend .

but as for the question , still valid as a few other areas have come up

[nevins]

name the areas and i will check back through paperwork and see what I have classed the area as mate.

[peter richards]

pen y fai was one the other coity

[nevins]

two very nice areas, and a real nice castle at coity.

[peter richards]

ok mate thanks for the info .

just was worried as i thought bridgend was a holding pen for the jeremy kyle show

[S44M KT]

you plannin on hanging yourself Peter? lol

[peter richards]

ooo below the belt sam lol, just need to find a nice place with a big garage

[S44M KT]

lol its true though. there are much nicer areas to live that brigend dude. its just a shit hole. no matter where you go lol.

 

anywho, whats wrong with Swansea? lol

[peter richards]

prices are high for what you get and i thought being in the middle sort of thing makes it better for my coverage , quite a lot of enquirys from say newport /chepstow but they arnt keen on travelling down here

[S44M KT]

i get you. why not look at cardiff? or Caerphilly area? ur 5 mins from the A470 then Honestly dude. Brigend is horrible.

[peter richards]

cardiff again once you get within 5 miles prices rocket, then im getting further away from my main area .

going to see a house saturday in broadlands , looks quite nice , price is reasonable .

thing is there are shit holes everywhere swansea has its fair share , just dont want to be to near one if you know what i mean

[S44M KT]

yeah i know what you mean. in between brigend and porthcawl is the only place id live. cant remember the name of the area though lol hope thats of some help.

[peter richards]

yes thats where im going this weekend southish bridgend

[downimpact]

Just looking to move from Sarn nr bridgend (not so good) to Talbot Green nr Llantrisant as it hasn't got the price hike of Cardiff but is just down one Junction

 

Llantrisant/pontyclun/talbot green area compared to bridgend seem like chalk and cheese.

 

Coity is a nice area, there are a few small locatons which are really nice but generally so, so in my snoby opinion

[peter richards]

this broadlands im going to on the weekend looks ok newish estate i think .

but ill have a good look around as they do tend to build new estates in the middle of crap old ones

[peter richards]

thanks rhys , tried to reply your pm but it wont let me send it .

but again thanks for the info

[Dyer864]

come to merthyr , sure you'll av a warm welcome ! some nice areas, cefn coed and pontsticill leading up to the resevoirs , beautiful surroundings , wish i lived up there ! middle of the road between chepstow and bridgend !

I'ts not as bad as people make out, and prices are cheaper than most areas.

if you are looking for new estates, there's a few popping up around the place

The rumour has it, that most commuting back and fore to work are settling in merthyr, as house prices are too dear in Cardiff and Swansea , as it's mid way !
