Bearwood in Smetwick is a shithole
-
I have just moved to Bearwood,Smethwick in Birmingham and it is a shithole.I didn't realise how bad it was. I used to live in West Bromwich and I thought that was bad, but no where near as bad as Smethwick!I thought it would be an ok area but it has turned out to be a nightmare.The property I bought was relatively cheap, but I think the saying you get what you pay for comes to mind.It has been a nightmare because of the disorderly youths who live in this area. The street is always filled with litter, needles are frequently seen and many youths around here are very confrontaional.These Youths it has to be said are mainly asian, not wanting to be racist, because I am a foreigner myself, being a dutchman. There have already been a couple of raids on houses in this area in the short time i've been here. I can't wait to move out now even though I have only recently just moved here.Selling my property is proving to be hard though.All I want is to get the capital I paid for this house back.I am feeling a bit depressed and I really regret moving here with my wife.This is the biggest mistake we've made in our adult lives and we would not recommend anyone buying in this area.Most of the people are miserable and common(not wanting to sound like a snob)in this area.We might have to sell our house at a cut price, because that seems the only way we will get out of this dive ASAP.
