Housing
Edinburgh consistently ranks as one of the
best places to live in the UK. The housing market is
buoyant. However, significant increases in the housing stock,
including affordable housing, will ensure that Edinburgh continues
to be an inviting prospect for potential residents. The number of
houses in Edinburgh is expected to increase by approximately 12% by
2014.
Around a third of workers commute to the city. The journey
time to Glasgow - currently a very commutable 50 minutes - will be
further reduced with the introduction of a proposed high speed rail
link.
Relocation to the city region from anywhere in the UK is a
prudent move. If you relocate from another affluent area such as
the south-east of England, the cachet of living in one of Europe’s
most desirable city regions will ensure that your investment is
protected.
