Where quality of life and affordability go hand in hand

The cost of housing is one of the biggest 'quality of life' issues of modern times. In many areas of the country, a large number of people simply can't afford to live in locations with good housing, near to good schools. In Greater Lincoln, things are different.

From contemporary city living to country lifestyles, living here can be just what you want it to be. It's also very affordable with property prices typically 60% of the south east average, and prices not seeing the drastic falls experienced in other areas of the UK. This means that first-time buyers can get onto the property ladder for as little as £60,000, while those needing a larger home should find £250,000 buys something really special.

Such is the interest in the area that many new homes are being built in key growth areas such as Sleaford, while Gainsborough and Lincoln have been awarded Growth Point Status through Central Government.

Many Greater Lincoln residents live in villages and enjoy relatively congestion-free trips into work and back, compared to commuters in other parts of the country. In addition, few rivers and good drainage mean that this part of the UK represents a very low risk of flooding, something that’s of increasing concern to homeowners.
