It’s safe to say that for many people, the pandemic has shifted their lifestyle & home priorities. Browsing property websites has become extremely popular during lockdown, and people have decided that they want to change their location sooner rather than later.
One of the most popular reasons for relocation has been the desire for more space and potentially a different way of living post-lockdown. This is exactly why Yorkshire and the quality of life it offers has been one of the top choices for a relocation destination. It offers a range of everything – from beautiful city and town dwelling, to beaches and panoramic countryside views. It is no surprise that a large number of us are considering a move to Yorkshire.
The properties
For many, it is impossible to afford the high property prices found in some parts of the U.K, and living in these places means you have to make sacrifices on things like indoor and outdoor space. Yorkshire can offer you more for your money and enable you to afford your dream home at a fraction of the cost. That coastal cottage, or large garden can become a reality without sacrificing your quality of life.
The schools
Yorkshire gives access to some of the country’s top performing schools. In some parts of the country, it can be difficult to get your child into a good quality school, especially if you live in an area with an expensive catchment. In Yorkshire, there are many great schools to choose from without having to pay a huge premium for the privilege.
The lifestyle
Yorkshire is not only home to the peaceful Yorkshire Dales – encompassing stunning natural beauty with breathtaking scenery, it is also home to ‘The Golden Triangle’ that is Leeds, York and Harrogate. With easy access to each of these vibrant cities, incredible countryside and charming market towns, Yorkshire really does have it all. You can spend the day in an idyllic countryside village, visiting historic castles and abbeys, and enjoy the evening nightlife in a landmark city such as York, without having to travel far at all.
With more Michelin starred restaurants than anywhere outside of London, Yorkshire is perfect for food lovers. Throw in more award winning breweries than anywhere in the country and you really have hit the gastronomic jackpot. If you do need access to London, it is possible to get to there in around two hours by train.
