York top rated place to live
19 February 2011
York is one of the best places in Britain to make a property investment.
The city is listed second only to Cambridge in a top 20 of cities and towns where property buying is a "failsafe" investment.
The list has been drawn up by researchers at national estate agency Knight Frank, which found that whether buying to live in, or rent out, York property has a lot going for it.
Liam Bailey, Head of Research at Knight Frank rates York's attractive, historic city centre, its good links to London - roughly two hours by train - and its relative small supply of housing stock in the heart of the city.
There is also the relative ease with which commutes can reach other towns and cities.
Good schooling is another reason for York being a coveted place to live.
The Knight Frank research ranked the top 20 based on factors including affordability of housing, wages, unemployment figures and population growth.
