A friend is considering buying a house nearby but you have decided to leave the area due to a rise in crime

A friend is considering buying a house nearby but you have decided to leave the area due to a rise in crime 5AV7B

Dear Anna, How's life treating you? Sorry, I haven't been in touch. My schedule keeps me so busy that I never have a minute for myself. I also heard that you are planing to purchase a four-floor house in Kingston Street. In my honest opinion, I would reconsider this decision. I knew that you have decided to pay for a garden house in my neighborhood. As you know, I have spent a couple of years living in this area and based on my experience, I strongly advise you not to move here. This precinct has changed a lot over the years and it's no longer a wonderful place to live in. I have also decided to move to a new locality by the end of this month. This is mainly because we don't feel safe anymore. Recently, there has been a rapid increase in crime. Nowadays, many teenagers are involved in drugs. For instance, last week, a child robbed a precious necklace from my neighborhood. For this reason, it would be a good idea to decide which is the best for you. After doing a lot of research, we have found a lovely garden house in Vera Street. I think you should look for a house in areas such as Audrey, Vera or Buckingham Street. It has great reputation and low crime rates. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me through my phone number. If you like, I can spend time finding a suitable house for you and your family. Looking forward to hearing from you! All the best, Vera
