The Sunday Times has exclusively announced the publication of its Best Places to Live in the UK list, as reported by Greycoat Real Estate. For once the main prize has been taken away by North Berwick in Scotland. It is believed to be the first time that a town in Scotland has won the award.
Greycoat Real Estate highlights the factors that impressed the judges: a sweet neighborhood, awesome schools, conveniently located in Edinburgh, and endless outdoor pursuits. Along with that, the flourishing network of independent shops is an outstanding feature of it, illustrating the positive role that small businesses play in the society.
The recognition of these regional winners in addition to the national one shows that there are options for all budgets and lifestyles. The Sunday Times editors focus on the places that possess such attributes as active high streets and a priority given to the new and the improved. As Greycoat adds, the winning ones include lively cities such as Leeds to idyllic villages scattered across the whole of the UK.
Unlike awards that usually celebrate established names, Greycoat Real Estate stated that the awarded list this year has many newcomer places yet strong in community spirit. In the real estate agency, authenticity as well as the editors’ dedication is an additional key point. They observe all the sites they’ve chosen and talk to inhabitants to get a complete picture of daily life and activities.
This guarantees the selected areas provide that satisfaction of intangibility as well as the necessaries. Affordability is a factor to be taken into account, although very high house prices don’t prevent the location from being valuable. In the end, this is what people look for as a result of good living conditions and feeling at home.
