So, why is it that people choose Market Harborough? Home Quality Mark (HQM) recently analysed factors behind a buyer’s decision when buying a property. It found that 67 per cent of those surveyed cited their main concern as the community where their new home is located – the attractiveness of living in an area with a strong community still holds strong.

This is potentially a reason why Market Harborough is an attractive proposition for buyers in Leicestershire.
