Britain has always imagined itself as a
nation of bustling city centres and rolling countryside. Yet the reality of
modern living tells a very different story.
Nearly six in ten people now live in suburban
residential areas, making suburbia by far the dominant way Britain lives today.
These are the family estates, cul-de-sacs and commuter neighbourhoods that
quietly power the housing market, where schools, gardens, parking and space
matter far more to most households than skyline apartments or isolated rural
retreats.
At the same time, village life still holds
strong appeal, accounting for 13.3% of where people live, whilst town centres
remain home to over one in five Britons. Contrary to popular belief, only a
small proportion of the population actually lives in city centres or truly
rural locations.
For our homeowners and buyers alike, this
matters because it reflects what the vast majority of people are searching for
when they move home, practicality, community, connectivity and quality of life.
If you are a homeowner, landlord or home buyer and want to know what presently
happening in the local property market, do not hesitate to pick up the
phone.
