Well I have to say the tops of the pops featured in this article are part of my stomping ground and I love working with the communities that live there so it’s no surprise to me that they’re so popular.
Rural property prices are at an all-time high, as more Brits swapped city life for country living in lockdown.
In fact, according to the 2021 Rural Property Report by Coulters Property, houses in rural areas have risen by 20.8% in the last five years — a 3.3% higher increase than in urban areas. We might be spending more time at home, but lockdown has sparked rural relocations, giving many the chance to reconsider where to live.
Their research found that Harborough in Leicestershire is one of the most expensive rural areas to reside, with the average house price reaching £328,172 in 2020. In second and third place came East Northamptonshire and Rutland in the East Midlands, respectively, due to their sharp rise in property prices.
