Where city slickers are most tempted to move to?
Find out what Bristolians are looking for in a property
Zoopla's research shows city-dwelling Brits' most popular property searches within their hometown and beyond.
Adapted from an article by Annabel Dixon
Looking to escape the big smoke? Well it seems many city-based Brits are hankering after a home on the coast. Zoopla examined property searches in some of the largest cities over the past 12 months - and found that residents in nearly half of Britain’s top 10 sprawling conurbations were looking to move to the seaside.
Top of the list for Londoners was Margate, dubbed Shoreditch-on-Sea, which has benefitted from the opening of the Turner Contemporary gallery and the reopening of Dreamland amusement and entertainment centre.
Liverpudlians mostly eyed a relocation east to the holiday resort of Skegness, while those in Cardiff looked west to Swansea and residents in Edinburgh considered a move further north to Angus.
What are Bristol dwellers looking for?
Surprisingly despite lovely seaside towns within easy reach of Bristol, like Portishead or Clevedon, people were searching for properties in Bath. We think this may be influenced, in part, by the excellent choice of both state and private schools in Bath. This also puts the searches ranking as the highest average price too. Take a look at the list below.
City of search Most searched-for area Average property price
London Margate £231,506
Birmingham Droitwich £287,364
Manchester Wallasey £145,382
Liverpool Skegness £168,010
Leeds Bradford £132,524
Bristol Bath £424,464
Cardiff Swansea £173,763
Edinburgh Angus £156,251
Glasgow Lesmahagow £121,407
Newcastle Peterlee £97,149
Sheffield Pontefract £150,597
