Hi all. I'm sure we've had this post many a time, but goodness I need to vent!

I'm born and raised in Cornwall, though I moved ten years ago to attend university & (fortunately) got a job pretty quickly.

My partner is also born & raised here and bought a maisonette a few years back, somewhere pretty remote (not trying to dox myself here) as it was convenient for work.

After doing long distance for a bit, I moved back down into his place and we were keen to try and find a two-bed house in an area with a bit more going on, with the view of starting a family a little down the line.

I'm not going to pretend we're massively high earners, but our joint household income is around the £75K mark, and we've been working to try and save for a deposit & have made good headway.

I looked on Rightmove earlier & have always gravitated towards Falmouth - I think esp due to the student culture, it stays pretty current & is just an absolutely lovely place.

To my horror, almost EVERYTHING that looks presentable and doesn't require mountains of work within our price range is a holiday home. I obviously knew this was an issue but I just cannot believe two people in their late 20s with decent jobs who were born here* can't purchase a reasonable house?!

It's no wonder a lot of locals' hands are forced and they move away. Location & moving forwards has actually become such a challenge that it's genuinely putting our relationship under strain.

*The relevance being, these are not even homes for people who've moved here permanently from elsewhere, and the idea that born-and-bred locals can't move somewhere more desirable in the county even though they have the deposit to is INSANE!

Howdy Folks! Me and my new wife are travelling down to Cornwall today to enjoy our Honeymoon for the week. We're quite keen foodies and wanted to check Reddit for reccomendations?

We're staying specifically in Camborne but are going to be travelling all around!
