According to property website OnTheMarket, Bradford has been named the leading property hotspot in the country for the second consecutive quarter. In the second quarter, Blackpool moved into second place (up from fifth in Q1), while Rochdale climbed to third (previously 23rd in Q1). Plymouth, the only southern location in the top five, made a significant jump to fourth place from 22nd in Q1. Leicester is a new entrant in the top five, rising from ninth in Q1.
This ranking is based on their Hotspots Index, which utilises a proprietary algorithm comparing property leads and online searches against available property stock. This ranking method highlights the areas with high interest and low stock as the most active or ‘hot’ housing markets
Overall, the north/south divide remains evident, with the most vibrant and affordable locations predominantly in the north. Only one southern location made it into the top ten.
Jason Tebb, President of OnTheMarket, explained: “Property buying decisions continue to be heavily influenced by affordability. Our latest Hotspots Index shows that some of the most active or ‘hottest’ areas also offer buyers the best value.”
Matt Edwards, Bradleys Plymouth branch manager added; “Seeing Plymouth make such a significant leap in the Hotspots Index to fourth place is a testament to the vibrant and affordable market here. At Bradleys Estate Agents, we pride ourselves on our deep local knowledge and commitment to our customers. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through each step of the process. With offices in the city and in Plymstock, Plympton and over the bridge in Saltash we are able to provide the best opportunity to not only finding our properties a buyer/tenant, but also making we sure we find the sellers their next perfect home too.”
