Factors to be considered by British immigrants in buying a house

1. Factors that British immigrants should consider when buying a house

1. School: Most immigrants immigrate for their children, so this may be an important factor to consider when buying a house. Especially near British public schools. Even in private schools, it is much more convenient to be close to home. For the traditional northern areas, both public schools and private schools are rich in resources. For some emerging areas, such as the south and southeast of the Thames, some houses are of high grade and high price, but the resources in the area are not very good at present, so you should pay attention. 2. Transportation: Because it takes a year or two for new immigrants to get a driver's license to drive a private car, the convenience of public transportation is particularly important. Referring to the network map of London, it extends from south to north and is also a good traffic area.

4. Public security: The public security situation in the north is better than that in the south and southeast. The website introduces the crime rate and other public safety indicators in these areas.

5. Shopping: The distance between large and medium-sized supermarkets has a great influence on the convenience of life, especially when there is no car.
