    Investing in Bristol

    First and foremost, Bristol is well located, with excellent transport links to the rest of England. A train to London only takes an hour and a half and is connected by both the M4 and M5 motorways. For this reason, many large businesses such as Airbus have chosen Bristol to have their headquarters in the city. In 2019, Bristol secured the most investment of any other city in the UK, propelling it up the employment charts. As of 2019, there were 22,170 active business units in Bristol – up 3.5 per cent on the level of 2016 – according to the Office for National Statistics.

     

    Education-wise, Bristol is also seen as one of the most attractive cities to study in. With a large student population spread across two world-class universities. Bristol University consistently ranks in the worlds top 100 universities and the UK’s top ten universities based on its high standard of research and teaching.

    It is no wonder, then, why Bristol’s property market has boomed over the last decade. Outside of London, Bristol house prices have increased the most of any other city in the UK since 2010. In fact, Rightmove have found that six of the top ten locations where asking prices have increased the most over the past ten years are in Bristol. This is not by accident. Bristol’s distinct mix of excellent transport links, top universities, beautiful architecture and high quality of life have all added to the lure of this fantastic city.
