Valuing rural amenity
//An RICS report looking at the inflated price of rural housing: http://www.rics.org/Global/Value_Rural_Amenities_241012_dwl_aj.pdf
They have only looked at two regions, one in the Chilterns and one in the West Midlands so heavily influenced by the urban economy as well as being “idyllic” in appearance so it’s perhaps not surprising that these are showing the most resilient and highest housing prices in England. Nevertheless, good to see that some of the academic literature is filtering into the professional property world.
Back to rural, forward to industry?
