he diverging fortunes of the prime London property market when compared Making the with the country house market is helping to fuel a steady exodus from the T capital to the countryside. For many, the meteoric rise in the value of their move from London home in recent years is providing the perfect springboard to greener pastures.

city to country From Hampshire to Yorkshire, Sussex to Scotland, buyers are seeing the proceeds of their London sale go further than ever before, with provincial town and country property proving an irresistible draw. They are being joined by international buyers too, who are discovering the UK’s rural charm and have been leading the bidding on some of the country’s biggest estate sales recently.

The lifestyle benefits are one of the key attractions – the opportunity to swap the constant hum of traffic and a coffee shop on every corner for the sound of cockerels and an orchard in the garden. As well as the idyllic country property and grounds, there’s also the landscape on your doorstep.

Add to this a plethora of good schools, an enviable work-life balance and great food (Yorkshire has more Michelin starred restaurants than any other county outside London), and it’s easy to see why so many purchasers are actively looking for their next home beyond the capital.

Technology improvements including reliable internet can mean working from home is a viable option. As such those leaving London can choose to retain their work links with the capital while cutting down on their commuting time and costs. Pick the right location, and you can find that your train to the office is quicker than commuting from Fulham or Chelsea.

The move to the country can also create new forms of income. Larger properties and more land open up the possibility to do anything from renting out holiday cottages to growing your own vegetables.

Whether you are looking for a country property or are considering selling, good local advice is vital. Here in Harrogate, we also find that many deals are concluded off market, or depend on buyers being able to move fast to secure the most desirable properties. If this is of interest, our team would be delighted to tell you more.
