walshie 2,804 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 We've decided to move out of town to relax in the countryside. Choices are somewhere in the west of England or even ....dare I say it....Wales, or building a house on a bit of land we have in rural co.Limerick. Anyone give me any (sensible) pros and cons? Numpties don't bother answering. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brewman 1,192 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Limerick city itself and the surrounding urban areas aren't the most inviting but depending how far out your land is might be ok and quiet enough to live there. I have lived in both ROI and the UK so having that experience I would say go for Wales. No disrespect to ROI as that's where I'm from but don't live there anymore. Financially I couldn't afford to live there as its so expensive. Take into consideration like the NHS and the fact the Irish government are bringing in new taxes and charges like there's no tomorrow and Wales will come up trumps. I would love to move to the country at home but just couldn't do it unfortunately. If limerick is a possibility do a cost of living comparison then don't forget the extra Irish charges like paying €50 odd to see your doctor. Vets bills are half in the UK. I left my two dogs boosters go out of date so had to do a whole new course plus frontline, wormer and kennel cough and it wasn't much more than my sister's new lab cross getting a full course of inoculations It's not known as rip off republic for nothing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lapin2008 1,587 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I would like the thought of Wales, most of the coastline is stunning. If it was me though I would think about the highlands of scotland you can get some right places for relatively cheap and its stunning 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now THAT's the sort of answer i was looking for. Thanks Brewman. Yeah I know Limerick "Stab" City isn't all that inviting. The land we have is about 20-25 miles south of the city. Just weighing up my options really. Of course if I see a house right next to Johnnyboy in Wales, I'll buy it immediately. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
