Getting The Gig: Why Fast Broadband Is A Genuine Dealmaker
You’ve got to ask yourself some important questions when you’re moving house about what’s important to you. Bedrooms, transport links and naturally the size of the property are all vital considerations, but there’s one thing that’s higher on people’s wishlists than ever before.
It’s getting the gig, or as we better know it, fast broadband. A recent survey of nearly 300 estate agents, suggested that over a third of buyers want speeds of more than 300Mbps with nearly a quarter of buyers wanting 1Gbps. The same survey also claims that good internet speeds can actually add £5,000 to the sale price of a home.
Perhaps people’s demands are reasonable given the government’s plans to get ultra-fast broadband into all homes in the UK by 2025. But if getting the gig is so important to us, then there could be a case to say that where we move to has to be taken into consideration. Here are some of the places with the fastest broadband speeds according to the most recent Selectra survey.
- Birmingham
- Liverpool
- Manchester
- Glasgow
- Coventry
- Bristol
- Edinburgh
- Hull
- London
- Nottingham
What does that tell us? The north and the Midlands offer some of the best speeds. It will be interesting to see if moves to those cities spike in 2022!
