Serious point here and God help anyone derailing; misus is "thinking" of moving and utilising our life savings to move to a Bungalow inland (Wirral) right in the middle of the countryside.Downside is the fact that there is little there walkable,ie,pub,chemist,doctor;it is also miles away from Merseyrail for Liverpool visits and I hate buses ,which are the alternative.
Biggest problem I have is uprooting from a very happy home to a "snooty" but beautiful part of the world that will see us with less friendly neighbours. That said,there is a cottage not too far away that has no neighbours within 400 yards. When you get old, you need support and I am not sure I want to live in a truly sleepy milieu.
North East Wales is cheaper but far more remote and when you face an emergency you are better off near facilities.
Any sensible replies welcomed.

Appreciate the replies.
We spent much of Jne in rural France in glorious ,painful isolation.
I have a chum who runs a campsite in Trawsfynydd and we are staggered at how little is there but for his punters,it is the attraction.
We do not know how long we have left ,do we.
When I m gone, you re gonna miss me when I'm gone |
It's life, Perch. Nobody gets out alive. | |

What is Monmouth town like to live in.Been through there many times and looks beautiful but its too far from the sea and a big city . |
It’s a really nice little town and pretty easy access to Bristol and Cardiff. I don’t live in the town and am closer to Bristol. The Wye is beautifully blue there and loads of countryside walks. I miss the sea though. |  |

We live in a small village about 3 miles out of town and use our cars to commute to work. It’s a nice quite place to live, but the village pub has closed and we no longer have a focal point for the village. The council have recently built a footpath which connects us with the town and that’s made a big difference as we can now walk places, before that it was a case of bus, taxi, car or being marooned in the village.
Lots of people move later in life to quieter places, but quite often they end up being away from their family, isolated and reliant on taxis etc as they can’t get about. | | | |

It sounds idyllic, but for how long? | |

Whereabouts? Sounds like Storeton sort of area. You have a lovely house and a great location up there. I would only move to West Kirby from here. |
Rather not be too specific Paul as this site is not safe so these days I am far more circumspect.
There is a house in Little Neston on sale in a Heswall agency.Tempting but not keen on Neston folk. No offence obviously. | |

These are still terrible value unless they have changed out of all recognition. Equity release is the next but one misselling scandal in my view, after university degrees and student loans.
I’m luckier than Perch in that my missus also wants to move, but not to the Wirral, and not to a bungalow (‘you lose mobility if you don’t climb stairs’ apparently). She wants the far more delightful trappings of Mumbles/Norton. I’d have to give up work though, and I don’t want to. I also like it round here.
I’d stick with the proven good neighbours and quiet secure location myself. Oh and a surgery where you can get appointments and some shops close by. Plus a bus route, hate it or not, when you can’t drive you might need it. I suppose you can get taxis but I hate taxi drivers even more than getting buses. |
Totally disagree, they are becoming a valued part of retirement planning and - for the right people - absolutely the right thing
There will always be a stigma with them because of previous mis-selling but I know plenty with them and they are very good value.
But again I add to that in the right hands and with the right advice. From qualified individuals not the "man in the pub" which so many like to rely on for financial advice. |  | | |

On a side note I plan (and hope) to only ever move once more in life.
We have been here 17 years, it was purchased to be a family home and has been that. As the girls get older (they are 15 and 14 right now) and move onto maybe university or move out to build their own families we will move, downsize slightly and take the equity that is in the house as part of my overall retirement planning | | | |

What the hell is wrong with buses?
Is it because oiks like me use them?
Appalling and unacceptable snobbery. |  | | |

The closer you are to community services and a hospital when you get older the better. |  |

None taken. Years of inbreeding has taken a toll down on the marshes. Only have to see Ladies Day to realise that. Little Neston is more outsiders, though the town is now the cafe capital of Cheshire West. | | | |

Liverpool being an old massive trading city;slaves,cotton,wine,sugar etc,has always had traders.
Clearly there is big demand for drugs in Swansea /Neath.
Frankly, instead of revisiting old scouse hate ,I d worry about why Swansea Bay has such a drug problem,which it had in the 70s and 80s.
Moving on | |

Liverpool IMO is full of smackheads, they are doing all the cars over at Creamfields just to fund their habits. |  | | |

Ignore the scummy ćunt C.
He started a thread about trolling earlier. Nobody had mentioned Neath. Why did he mention Neath?
Pure scum. | |

Funnily enough, I used to have the same idea of their value as Monny, but in my most recent conversation with the person I use for financial planning, he said exactly the same as you. | | | |

This thread has morphed somewhat.Why was that /
Are people saying Swansea /Neath doesnt have a drug issue. All towns and cities have .ALL.
Liverpool/Manchester.Brum,London,Bristol,Belfast all significant drug supplying gangs.
Fact.
Swansea is no idyll.Its my hometown that has sadly seen better days.Fact.
When the feck are the Mods on here going to start sorting out the obvious children on here.
There are some fine posters on here ;fine people.
Doesnt take much to pollute a river.
Best advice NTJ.Stay in whatever idyll you live and shout at the nastiness in other places | |

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Ken.I am glad you are obviously happy there .For us,too rural.We are lucky to have large cities within and hour and also the joys of north Wales of which there are many. We can be half way up Moel Famau or Manchester within the hour.
I am grateful for the comments from some posters on here and monny makes an excellent point.
After holiday,think we will be looking at developing our current home.Its up in the air though and we will not always be able bodied as we are now,if we are here at all. | |

Surprised me. I always thought, given all the money stuck in property there might be a fairer product invented to replace that equity release rip off, but didn't realise that any progress had actually been made. I'll have to research it now (rolls eyes). | |
