The Telegraph has released a list of the poshest villages in the UK, with five villages in Wales making it on to the list. The list of 54 is based on a combination of factors including house prices, lifestyle amenities, connectivity, and "chocolate-box appeal", and has been compiled from exclusive data from Savills Estate Agents.
The data revealed that high numbers are spending thousands on rent in countryside locations - for possibly years - until a suitable home in their desired village location become available. This week, real estate consultants Knight Frank reported the highest number of sales in the country market for 15 years, with the number of wannabe buyers registering up 35% last year.
Around 60% of Savills estate agents reported a rise in demand for rental homes in the most desirable countryside locations during the pandemic. Additionally, 57% said that the demand came from those who could not buy where they wanted.
