Horsforth has been ranked amongst the UK’s most underrated property hotspots outside of London, with an average house price of £328,259.
A report by cash house buyer, Sell House Fast has revealed the best underrated UK property hotspots, analysing affordability, commuting convenience, crime rates, school ratings, quality of life, and local amenities.
Horsforth claimed the top spot with 7.05/10 thanks to what the report says are strong educational options, plus a vibrant local scene with more than 220 coffee shops, bars, pubs, and restaurants within five miles.
It started: “Families will be particularly drawn to the area’s educational options, with just under three-quarters (74%) of schools within five miles rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted.
“In terms of lifestyle, Horsforth also delivers. With 22 coffee shops, 65 bars and pubs, and 141 restaurants within five miles, the town offers plenty of options for leisure and dining.”
The report states with an average house price of £328,259, Horsforth is notably more affordable than some of Leeds’ trendiest neighbourhoods like Roundhay (£435,245) and Bramhope (£537,503). It also praises fast commuting times.
“This makes it a compelling alternative for buyers who want the buzz of a vibrant local scene without paying a premium,” the report adds.
“The wider local authority’s median annual pay is £31,450, and despite house prices and the crime risk score being slightly higher than those in other top-ranked towns, the town’s overall appeal keeps it at the top of the list, with a total score of 7.05 out of 10.”
