A new survey has shown that speed of local broadband connection is now an important aspect between people considering where to buy a home. 61% of respondents to Knight Frank’s Buyers Survey stated superfast broadband was important to them, with a further 32% stating they would actively research local speeds with estate agents.

Key Takeaways:

• Decent broadband now a ‘must-have’ for house buyers
• Nearly half of a survey’s respondents said they would be more likely to buy a house in an area with good internet connectivity or superfast broadband.
• A further 32 per cent of respondents who said they would research an area’s connectivity or ask an estate agent about broadband speeds before making a purchase

“In an increasingly global and fast-paced world, the priorities of what buyers consider when purchasing a home have begun to shift.”
