Online House Hunter: England’s happiest cities | Alan Cleaver | Independent Property Blogs
IT’S hard to equate the survey results showing Mancunians are the unhappiest people in England with the current success of both United and City football clubs.
However, while the football fans in Manchester at least enjoy their football it seems the survey by Shelter and Places for People has revealed some of the key factors that affect city dwellers.
Bristol and Leeds achieved joint first in the satisfaction rating followed by Newcastle, Sheffield and Bradford. The factors being measured included the perceived quality of their home, whether people could afford the rent or mortgage payments, how safe they felt in the neighbourhood and whether the house was big enough to meet the needs of their families.
The survey highlights once again how important good housing can be towards your overall ‘happiness index’ in life. Finding the right home can put a spring in your step each morning. But end up buying the wrong type of home in the wrong place and your stress levels can go off the scale.
