Buying in Leeds
Leeds is the largest city situated in the heart of West Yorkshire. The city is steeped in history: once a typical market town, its role in the industrial revolution is still apparent in its architectural landscape today.
Fast-forward to the 21st century, Leeds is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the UK. It’s home to three universities and is said to be the fastest growing tech hub in the North, seeing companies such as Channel 4 recently making the move to the city.
House prices in Leeds are still pretty reasonable, sitting below the UK national average at £229,000. That means you’re still able to make your money go further in one the North’s fastest growing cities.
