Looking to up sticks and move to a brand new town in 2026? There are some\u00a0neighbourhoods across the country \u2013 with their great schools, spacious green areas, low crime rates and affordable housing \u2013 where\u00a0you\u00a0may face some stiffer competition than most.<\/p>\n
Where exactly, you ask? Well, doors and windows manufacturing business Origin has done the research for you. It has analysed housing demand, security and crime figures, educational quality and employment opportunities in a load of different areas to find out which British postcodes are the most desirable right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once it sifted through all the data, Origin\u00a0found that SP9 in Tidworth<\/strong>, Wiltshire, is currently the most desirable postcode in the country. Close to some of England\u2019s most scenic spots, like\u00a0Salisbury Plain and the River Bourne, homes in Tidworth are typically snapped up within 2.5 days of being on the market. That\u2019s 15 times quicker than the national average of 38 days.<\/p>\n The town has a crime rate of just 35.1 incidents per 1,000 inhabitants and 89 percent of its local schools have a \u2018good\u2019 or \u2018outstanding\u2019 rating. Origin also reported that the job market in the area is pretty great, particularly for anyone\u00a0who happens to work\u00a0in the\u00a0defence sector, with security hubs like Porton Down and Boscombe Down nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n And despite being in such high demand, homes\u00a0in Tidworth seem to be fairly affordable. According to Rightmove the average price of a house in the town over the last year was\u00a0\u00a3243,364 (for comparison, the average across the whole of the UK is around \u00a3270,000).\u00a0<\/p>\n The runner-up was the GU46 postcode, aka Yateley in Hampshire. Over there, flats and houses only spend an average of 3.5 days on the market before being sold. It has an even lower crime rate than Tidworth of\u00a0 32.5 incidents per 1,000 residents. Third place went to South\u00a0Glasgow\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0G44. Properties in that area, which similarly has\u00a0a low crime rate,\u00a0high-rated\u00a0schools, and vast green spaces like Queen\u2019s Park, go within five days of being put up for sale.\u00a0Read on for the full list of the country\u2019s most in demand postcodes.\u00a0<\/p>\n The UK\u2019s 10 most desirable postcodes in 2025<\/p>\n
