 Supply and demand

Roger Wilkinson, Managing Director at Wilkinson Grant & Co, an estate agency in Exeter, said: “Exeter is an incredible place to live and work, boasting some of the best schools, restaurants and amenities in the UK. It’s natural that homeowners with big budgets are drawn to Streatham Rise and Baring Crescent, which are home to some fabulous properties.”

Gráinne Gilmore, Head of Research at Zoopla, added:  “The Zoopla Rich List 2020 highlights the desirability of property in York, especially at the prime end of the market. The city’s historical landmarks, outstanding schools and fantastic shops, restaurants and bars mean that an address on one of its most expensive streets is worth more than £1,000,000. New working patterns, especially remote working, mean house hunters from all over the country are seeking bigger properties with outdoor space. York has a wide range of these types of properties, not least for those who can pay a premium for their next home.”
