It’s fair to say that everyone is looking for something different from their location. You may want to be close to the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by the vibrancy and diversity it has to offer. Or maybe you prefer the quiet beauty of the countryside with winding lanes and chocolate box houses. Perhaps being close to the beach is a priority with the fresh sea air to help you relax and enjoy life at a slower pace. So how is it possible to determine the “best” place to live? The Halifax Quality of Life survey looked at 26 factors including employment, earnings, housing affordability, health and wellbeing, education, traffic and crime rates. These variables considered, East Hertfordshire in the East of England, triumphed. Halifax Managing Director Russell Galley said “With bustling market towns and picturesque countryside, East Hertfordshire has topped the table thanks to high life expectancy, good schools and health and happiness scores, with high average earnings. Everyone has different priorities when it comes to choosing a place to live, depending on time of life, and personal circumstances.” What other areas scored highly?
