Dewsbury is a small town in West Yorkshire and, in our opinion, is a wonderful place to live.
It’s beautiful architecture, abundance of excellent independent shops and restaurant, and close proximity are all what make it so popular.
According to the 2011 census, almost 63,000 people reside in Dewsbury.
And we think you should join them. Whether you’ve spent a lot of time in the area, or have never before visited, you should consider Dewsbury as your next home.
It’s full of wonderful sights and fun things to do.
Allow us to explain why you should think about buying a property in Dewsbury.
It’s a Great Place to Live
Ask anybody who currently lives in the Dewsbury area, and they’ll tell you how much they love it.
That’s mainly because these individuals prefer residing in a small town, where life is a little quieter, than living in a bustling city centre.
So it’s all about personal preference, really.
Don’t get us wrong – Dewsbury features chain restaurants and coffee shops, just as much as a major city does.
But it also has a more close-knit community, and boasts lots of independently owned establishments too.
It’s not out in the countryside. But it’s a good middle ground between city life and rural living.
Excellent Location
Obviously you aren’t going to spend every waking moment in and around your home.
You want to get out and experience life in the outside world.
That’s why Dewsbury is so perfect – because whatever you’re after, nothing is really too far away.
If you do enjoy going to the countryside, then it’s never too far away (the same can be said for most of Yorkshire, really).
But if you do want to go and do something in a city, then both Huddersfield and Leeds are nearby – with the likes of Sheffield a little further away.
Housing Prices in Dewsbury
One reason to get on the property ladder in Dewsbury is because housing prices are going up – and it may turn out to be a worthwhile investment.
Over the last 12 months, according to data from Zoopla, the average value of a property has increased by around £4,681.
That represents a 3.26 percent change.
Getting into the market whilst things are on the up is a solid idea – so even if you don’t intend to live in Dewsbury, or are thinking about leaving after a couple of years, it’s a wise idea financially.
The average price paid for a home in Dewsbury within the last year was £137,788.
