Brighton Short Breaks has watched the ups and downs of the property market with close interest, as, along with most everyone else in this country, our home forms part of our long term insurance against old age poverty.
So the potential that our long term investment could have crumbled before our eyes, with the recession blowing around the globe, has been averted (for the time being at least) by the fact that Brighton and Hove continue to fare so well in terms of being the destination of choice for so many home hunters!
I'm the A in RDA!
The city of Brighton and Hove has fared extremely well in a number of reports into which cities were considered the best places to live in the UK, - consistently being in the top 3 – and that has meant that despite the recession, Brighton and Hove residential property has not only held its value, but continued to grow in the face of adversity!
Helped largely by the fact that approximately a third of the University population that graduates each year chooses to stay in the city – putting pressure on the first home market, the continued migration from Londoners looking for a better quality of life without sacrificing any of the cultural opportunities a large city can offer, as well as all those envious people who read the statistics about how much happier than the rest of the country we in Brighton are, all means Brightonians can be more pleased with themselves than ever.
Jean Shillinglaw, Director of property specialists RDA Estates confirms that business is as buoyant as ever.
‘Whatever the state of the market, if a location is consistently the preferred location of the majority of home seekers and investors then that location will always fare better, and provide a better return than others. ‘
Truly location,location,location then!
She goes on to say: ‘ Brighton and Hove prove to be popular both with private house hunters looking for an aspirational life-style, but also increasingly with the buy to let investors – because such is the demand for accommodation in the city from young professionals, quality rental properties are always in short supply!’
‘Whereas investors in cities like Leeds came unstuck due to a situation of over-supply of rental property and under-supply of tenants, Brighton and Hove is still struggling to to accommodate all the new arrivals wanting to live here, and that trend shows no signs of diminishing!’
