Improving Desirability

How Will This Development Improve Desirability?

Barnsley West is set to improve the desirability and demand for housing in the local area, here's how and why.

The property selling website Rightmove lists the items which affect house prices, most of which are based on the specifics of each property, however, it does note that ‘Desirability/Appeal’, ‘Location’ and ‘Demand’ are key factors.

This is emphasised in the statement quoted on their website: ‘ "location, location, location" is still one of the most important factors when it comes to valuing a house - not just the geographical location, but also its proximity to key amenities and facilities’.

The proposed development is therefore, likely to improve the desirability and demand for housing in the local area because it introduces new facilities such as a foodstore, medical centre, primary school and opportunities for work in the local area. This may have a beneficial effect on existing house prices.
