FFS mate. Have you ever been to Blackpool?

Yes it's cheap but for a reason. Utter f@cking sh@t hole.

Get a grip man.

Dont worry what others think. If you feel somethings right for you go for it. Everyones different and if you ask for peoples opinions youll get hundreds of different responses. People make bad decisions because they follow other peoples feelings and dont trust their own. Get opinions but at the end of the day you have to just do what you feel is right for you. If it all goes awry you can just move again but at least youll know that you were doing something you believed and felt was right rather than doing something you didnt feel comfortable with.

Yes and more expensive. Less convenient as well for travel to other places and not as many amenities as being in Blackpool itself.

To be honest i find most of the UK pretty similar town wise. There are nice parts and crap parts in all towns so calling a place a dump is a bit stupid.

Where we live in Ipswich is lovely, like a mini Hampstead. A few minutes walk down the road is like being in Bucharest.

There is just nothing to do here. At least in Blackpool we can have a house, the beach to walk the dog, then if we want to go elsewhere we can hop on the train and be in a number of other places within an hour and a half.

As well as that we can have a little house rather than a 1 bed flat plus be about £600 a month better off.

Methinks you've already made your mind up and are possibly seeking vindication. In life I generally go with 'gut feeling' rather than weighing up options, and it usually works out OK. In fact there's often no way of knowing if an alternative course of action would have been better anyway.

I would just go for it.

All places have their good bits and 5hltty bits.
Just remember to think things through properly, because once you make the move, it will be very difficult to relocate.
A mate of mine sold his flat in Surrey and got a good house oop north. But he said he would find it extremely difficult to move back south, because of the differentiation in house prices. He likes it ooop north, so isn't planning on going south again.
