Yorkshire offers some of the best quality of life in the UK and residents typically love having a mix of stunning countryside and energetic cities to hand - whether you’re spending a day at the coast, soaking in the views of the Yorkshire Dales or shopping in Leeds.

While it’s exceptionally popular with homebuyers and has seen populations rise year-on-year, Yorkshire is still much more affordable than the South, where the cost of homebuying has priced many people out of the market. 

Houses for sale in Yorkshire have risen in price by around 59% - translating to £76,000 - since 2013. 

With the average house price in Yorkshire now around £203,500, it remains one of the most affordable regions compared to its counterparts in the South.

Outside of house prices, Yorkshire can also offer a slower, more relaxed pace of life that many people prefer to the bustle of other major cities or urban regions. There is an abundance of great schools across Yorkshire and as cities such as Sheffield and Leeds expand, an increasing number of great job opportunities.
