FAMILY AND FRIENDS TOP PRIORITY LIST FOR WEST SUSSEX HOUSE HUNTERS

According to a new survey looking at why we live where we do , people in West Sussex value being close to family and friends and an easy commute above local amenities , good schools and affordability .
Conducted by five-star housebuilder , David Wilson Homes , the survey revealed the top reasons people choose to live where they do and it seems that people in West Sussex placed family and friends far higher on their list that those in other parts of the south .
“ The West Sussex homeowners we questioned like to live near a strong network of friends and family ,” said David Wilson Homes sales director , Michelle Storer . “ But they also identified that easy access to work plays a vital role when deciding a house move and this is just one of the factors that influences where we build .’’
