Best Places To Move In The South West 2020

An eventful, yet uneventful 2020 is coming to a close. Why we say this is due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the United Kingdom into lockdown for an extended period of time at the beginning of the year. Thankfully, cases and the prominence of the virus has decreased meaning life looks much like normal than it did earlier on, and we are able to do most of the things we regularly do in day-to-day life, meaning it is not too late to catch up on the excitement that we missed earlier on in the year. Although we may not be able to enjoy things we regularly do this year, such as going to nightclubs or crowded events, there are still plenty more things we can invest our time in and enjoy.

Earlier on in the year, if you had it planned to move home, it simply would not be possible due to the lockdown restrictions in place. Now with restrictions being eased, you are free to move home in most areas of the UK, including the South West. The South West has some of the most stunning homes in the country and thriving new areas. In this blog, we have covered some of the best places to move in the South West of the UK towards the end of the year.

There are plenty more areas in South Gloucestershire, including Bradley Stoke, Downend, Bromley Heath, Kingswood, and much more.

Bristol

An option which is certainly worth considering for those who wish to live in a more lively area and have an increased budget is Bristol, being the residential area or busier area near the city centre. Bristol is known for being a cultural capital in the UK with a rich history. Besides Bristol’s history, the city also has an incredible modern harbour and city cente, with much to do for all. For younger generations, Bristol also has an incredible nightlife scene and a prominent diverse music scene.

There are many areas on the outskirts of the city centre with plenty of resources, additionally to beautiful parks, various activities, and multiple facilities. These areas include Redland, Clifton, Bishopston, Horfield, Hengrove, Brislington, and more. Some of these areas are much more expensive than others, depending on the location. Generally speaking, the further out from the city centre, the cheaper the property. Properties in Redland and Clifton are also generally bigger and older, so they will be more expensive than other residential areas in Bristol.
