There are many places throughout the UK, where property is available to buy. Finding a location that suits you is another matter altogether!

Having been working in the property industry for many years, I have been privy to the viewing of many property locations and have thus decided to bring together a list of five of the locations that I feel offer the most for me. Each location is different and has differing qualities, hopefully providing you an insight into some of the better places to live.

Where should I buy my house or flat if I am looking for the nightlife and what to live in the south country?

A great place to buy is a small town called Hertford. I am starting with Hertford, not only because I know of it well, but also because it offers the history, nightlife and the prices to pray for!

Hertford is an extremely picturesque town, with the famous River Lea that running through it. It is home to a historic castle. Established following the Norman conquest, the castle in Hertford was home to royalty and it was this that partly fueled the town’s road to prosperity.

Hertford had its own corn mill and was helped with the River Lea cut-through in the 18th Century, but it wasn’t until the late 19th Century that the town started expanding outwards, mainly due to the new railway line that was introduced.

The town now has a good collection of bars, restaurants and shops and is an ideal location for anyone who enjoys both the nightlife and the quiet life!

Where should I purchase my property if I am looking for a quiet place, but need a good choice of jobs?

Jobs normally reside in locations close to cities or in cities themselves. I love London and being a southerner, I am going to discuss London here!

London is rife with jobs, the choice is sky high and the money is magic!

There are quite a number of places where people, especially those looking for the quieter experience to purchase. Watford and Bushy are reasonably quiet, they both offer good routes into London and there are many properties to choose from.

Watford is home to Watford football club and naturally attracts supporters of the club. Standing on a low hill near the River Colne, Watford was originally an agricultural community and has thus prospered since early times.

Offering many differing property styles, Watford also has a great shopping center, the Harlequin center often sees many repeat visitors.

The last location on the left!

Well actually the last location I will be discussing in this article, could be on the left or the right, obviously depending on the direction you are facing – sorry, for my humorous burst!

Kent is a fantastic place to live, visit and research. Kent is home to Canterbury Cathedral and the University of Kent. The county is full of rural and city-styled locations, catering for an eclectic range of tastes.

It is within driving distance of London and as a bonus, it is extremely close to the M25, which provides great access to many places, not just London.

The prices are hot, as is the weather and the people in Kent tend to be of good character – I would truly recommend Kent as a good quality location to purchase a property.
