With the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations starting from the 2nd June in just 2 weeks, it seems like the main occasion to kick off the beginning of the summer season. However the UK weather hasn’t received the message as we continue to experience a mixture of rain, wind and light clouds, with just a taste of blue skies and sun.
Constant great weather throughout the summer is not a great demand and climate is an important factor to consider when buying a property in a new region of the country. The Northern regions, particularly Scotland, seem to get the brunt of bad weather with more severe cases of rain, wind and snow. So for residents in these areas, having landlord insurance is especially important if their homes are more susceptible to weather damage.
Using information sourced from the Met Office, the following areas have been identified as having the highest average temperatures. So for people who want to enjoy warmer days on a more regular basis, these places may be the ideal place to invest in a property. The property information was sourced from Rightmove and lists the average prices taken from last year.
