Location is key to the UK property market. Homes in desirable locations are in high demand which means prices are higher. Buyers often want to live in areas that have access to amenities, schools and good transport links like airports and train stations.
The location of a home can also determine its future value. A home based close to where new infrastructure will be implemented is likely to increase in value or at least retain its value if there’s a crash.
