New Life by the Sea or in the Countryside?

2020 has thrown us many challenges, the implications of Covid 19 and the associated lockdowns and guidelines have impacted the world. No matter who you are, where you are or what you do the new parameters to which we now live our daily life affects us all and are set to continue well into 2021.

The South West

Living in the South West we are lucky to have many open spaces and beaches in our region to enjoy as the guidelines and tier system limit the places we may normally visit. Being outdoors in the open with few others around frees us of masks and the socially distanced queues indoors. Breathing in the fresh air and making the most of our surroundings by taking a walk or spending time outside is good for our mental health and wellbeing.

Home Working

With many changes to how we all work. Working remotely is now the new normal for a high proportion of workers, with offices closed for the foreseeable months in many cases. By way of an example media reports Google have told their 4,500 UK staff that they will be working from home until at least July 2021. This continued shift in home working allows some the choice to look at relocating away from cities and built-up areas. Rightmove recently reported that property searches continue to surge in smaller communities as buyers searching for a country escape continues.
