The top 10 most in-demand UK locations with soaring viewing requests revealed
The average viewing requests for lettings reach 42 per available property across key locations.
New data from Leaders Romans Group (LRG), reveals that the top 10 in demand areas for lettings attracted 5,941 requests for viewings in June – an average of 42 per property. In contrast, the top 10 in demand areas for sales attracted 3,289 requests for viewings in June – an average of 16 per property.
While rental demand is growing in city centres, as lockdown eases and offices start to reopen, the new data highlights that homes in rural and coastal areas are among those with the highest amount of interest for lettings. These include locations such as, Christchurch (an average of 57 leads per available property), Poole (41) and Clacton-On-Sea (40). For those wishing to stay in more urban areas, both Norwich and Bath come out on top as the most in demand areas with an average of 31 and 29 viewing requests per available property for rent.
Over the last year, coastal properties have grown in popularity due to a sharp rise in people looking for properties with outside space and more room to comfortably work from home. These new priorities have no doubt been expedited by the pandemic – as flexible working means living in proximity of urban hubs including London is less of a draw for many people.
The latest findings suggest that Christchurch is ranked the highest for lettings with an average of 57 viewing requests per available property. It’s also two hours from central London by train, which means it’s ideal for those looking to make the occasional trip to the office in the capital. The town’s harbour, beaches and nature reserves have made Christchurch a popular area for buyers seeking proximity to London but also nature too.
