There has never been a better time to make Hull your home, as the cost of living remains among the lowest in the UK and following its £1.5bn regeneration, the area has undergone an incredible transformation – and this is only the beginning.

By 2019 the redevelopment of Hull’s Fruit Market will be complete; the £80m project will include 109 new homes that will sit alongside a hub of independent shops, boutiques, galleries, cafés and restaurants situated by the beautiful Marina. The development will become Hull’s ‘urban village’; a unique and vibrant cultural quarter that seeks to marry Hull’s incredible history with its ever growing cosmopolitan culture.

Like any other city, there is a wide range of accommodation on offer but what makes this area stand out is that luxurious living comes at an affordable price. In the city centre, waterfront homes are amongst the most popular. Deluxe apartments line the Marina, ranging from compact one bedroom studios to large penthouses.

THE COST Of LIVING IN HULL IS REmARKAbLY LOW…

• Rent prices in Manchester are 65% higher, with general living costs on average 17% higher

• In Cambridge, rent prices are 142% higher, restaurant prices are on average 21% higher than in Hull

• In Leeds, rent prices are 43% more than homes in Hull and general living costs are also 10% higher on average

This is a city where the work-life balance is second to none and affordable housing means residents have more disposable income to spend on the things they love.

Just outside of the centre you’ll find Victoria Dock; a large waterfront development with its own sense of community and brilliant facilities, including a popular and high achieving primary school, and large 5 bedroom homes with balconies overlooking the Humber – all within easy walking access into the city.
