14. “Shift” in priorities for house-hunters
The pandemic saw many house-hunters abandon larger cities, seeking the green open spaces of the countryside. Frances McDonald, director of research at Savills, told The Telegraph that search criteria has “shifted” in the past 18 months as workers have returned to the office. She said: “Our latest research indicates that proximity to a train station, place of work and family has become much more important for those searching for a new home – particularly as individuals are more likely to be commuting to the office multiple times a week.” Photo: Brian Eyre
15. ‘Have it all’ villages
She added: “While still important to some now, pandemic buyer wish lists favoured proximity to parks, shops, and local pubs and restaurants. Exactly what village characteristics are classed as essential will vary from buyer to buyer, but we know that access to education, attractive surroundings and connectivity is a decent definition of a ‘have it all’ village.” Photo: Brian Eyre
