This question has no doubt been on the minds of many prospective movers, with 2020’s aftertaste of uncertainty still lingering on the palate. “Demand will remain high in the east of England, and specifically Cambridge, due to its connections to London and the career opportunities it offers, with some of the world’s largest brands based here,” John Lorimer prospects. “Combined with excellent education and access to open countryside, our region will continue to be a magnet for those looking to move away from larger cities in search of a new approach to the work-life balance.” It’s expected that the stamp duty holiday, which comes to an end in March, should drive a lot of last-minute interest over the coming months. “There is already talk of an extension to this scheme and this could further maintain the interest levels we have seen in the last six months,” adds Toby Brown of House by Urban Splash. “Northstowe is really well-placed as buyers look for a better work-life balance, open spaces and access to transport and jobs,” Toby continues. “Sustainability and functionality will be critical factors for conscientious purchasers, too.”
