Leeds is a gorgeous place to live, you don’t need to tell us twice – and it seems buyers agree, as the area’s property boom is showing no sign of slowing down yet.
According to research by Purple Bricks, it was revealed last month that more than half of house sellers in Leeds are getting more than the asking price for their homes.
The online agent found that 47 per cent of sellers managed to let their property go for between £5,000 to £15,000 more than the original asking price, showing just how in-demand Leeds is right now.
Between the pandemic leading people to require more from their homes and government initiatives like the stamp duty holiday, house hunting in the area has never been more attractive.
