Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield.

Three bus stops are located within easy walking distance of the
property. Two are on Anlaby Road and one is on Ferensway.

The developer's decision to target the professional
market is very deliberate. Hull is being re-energised by
a flood of new investment and this is creating new
jobs, particularly in fields demanding high skills, such
as renewable energy, advanced manufacturing,
healthcare and the digital industries.

The city's rising fortunes are the result of several
converging factors. One is the successful reinvention
of the dock area as a centre of excellence for

energy-from-waste. This thriving sector has drawn
huge sums of commercial investment and is
sustaining an ever-growing supply chain.

Other factors include a successful education sector

PROJECTS
It is important to recognise that while Hull is
certainly benefiting from a number of new
investments and regeneration projects, many more
are now in progress - and their positive impact is yet
to be felt. There is huge potential waiting in the form
of major developments, as Hull Council's director of

By national standards, property prices in Hull are
exceptionally affordable. Indeed, in March 2018,
Zoopla revealed Hull to be the most affordable
destination for first time buyers across the whole of
England and Wales.
In November 2018, Zoopla found that average house
prices in Hull stood at £140,171, with flats selling for a
little over £103,000. That compares against an
average, for England, of £326,307 for houses and
almost £313,000 for flats.

Figures published by the British Government in
August 2018 show that average property prices in the
East Riding of Yorkshire were £177,771, which is 2.5%
