DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING THERE! We have just moved out of Swiftbrook, very close by and out of it i thought we would never get. Its a kip. Most of the houses are rented most of the people are lovely but of course there are the few that will ruin your quality of life!
For starters going to the shop was a nightmare, "giz a smoke, any odds, will go into the offo for me". Thats the least of your worries. the outside of the shops was filthy. Scummers hanging around drinking.
Joyriding was another thing. the pizza mans car was robbed from under his nose while delivering, they rallied it ip and down the road, burst his tyres and then just abandoned it, outside my house. Myself and my mate came back to my house for a few after dancing and her car, which was parked on the kerb outside, had been burnt out......
We had a murder in Swiftbrook and that was the last straw. Oh and there was a women recently, very recently, convicted of manslaughter. Herself lived in the estate with the kids, she was turfed out just before the trial. Gladly we had already left.
If your purchase is for investment, go for it. If your going to live there, I say. Good luck.
PS My sister and my best friend are still in the area and are dying to get out of it.
