How far are you prepared to move for the perfect property?

For most home movers it depends on where they live.

Those in the North are more likely to stay closer to their former home, while those in the South will travel further, according to studies carried out over the years by residential property professionals, Government, and other analysts.

For its research Hamptons, the premier estate agent with more than 90 branches and part of the Connell’s chain, the biggest in the country used data from Experian and the Office for National Statistics.

Hamptons discovered that around 50% of household movers collected moved into their new homes within three miles of where they had previously lived.

Zoopla, the property portal for homeowners, found , movers in the South East and East of England are more likely to move beyond 10 miles to find more space and value.

Conversely, people in the North of England and the Midlands are more likely to stay local - 60% of buyers in these regions search for their next home within a 5-mile radius

It’s not only where you live that has a bearing on how far people are prepared to look.

The portal discovered that city dwellers looking to buy a specific property type were willing to expand their search radius. For example people in Manchester, where only 1 in 27 properties on the market is a detached house, look an average of 23 miles away to buy such a home.

Similarly, London-based buyers looking for detached houses enquire about properties typically located 11.5 miles away from their current home.

In Edinburgh, where 64% of homes on the market are flats, those aspiring to buy a house typically look 10 miles away from their current location.
