Living and working in rural North Yorkshire is a real joy. With ready access to the Moors, Wolds andthe East Coast, the area is free of large conurbations and contains numerous attractive villages andsmall market towns.As such, the region has become very popular and seen a boom in house prices over the past few years and, as a practice, we have seen many clients leaving the heartlands of London and the Southeast to enjoy the benefits of open space and relatively good value property.The downside of this, is the dire lack of housing for local people, particularly the younger generation who can no longer to afford a home in their origin of birth. In turn, this creates unbalanced communities, leading to lack of public facilities, falling numbers in schools leading to closures and diminishing public transport.
