The world might seem focused on urbanization, but over the past five years of our Housing Futures research, we have seen the emergence of a new trend in housing the desire to move back to rural locations. With advancements in technology, villages are now more connected than ever. Our Housing Futures research, focusing on The Village Revival, identified that 21% of respondents expressed a desire to move to a village, making it probably the most popular location for buyers. Those looking to move cited neighborhood safety (86%), space between neighbors (58%) and a strong community feel (48%) as key factors to leave cities and settle in rural location. Figures show that England’s rural economy produces £210 billion of economic output. In fact, a quarter of all registered businesses are based in rural locations. The expansion of broadband and mobile communications has seen a greater rate of working from home in rural locations compared to urban areas. It seems that the same factors that once drove urbanization — improving economic and social conditions-are now inspiring the village revival. So, if you’re thinking of moving to a more rural location, Strutt & Parker is well placed to help. Our agents take the time to really understand what you’re looking for. | |
