Moving for an Improved Lifestyle

The Covid-19 experience has caused a marked trend in buyers searching for properties in rural areas, seeking outdoor areas and space for working from home. Pritchard & Company highlighted the move to the countryside back in January and it has only increased since.

Covid-19 has driven the desire for a quieter lifestyle. The demand for working from home and open space, particularly near good schools, continues. Buyers have really come to value these criteria this year and people are considering longer commutes to benefit from a more balanced lifestyle.

We have just launched a property offering the ideal opportunity to provide a rural lifestyle with all the benefits of space, fresh air and accessibility.
