With recent changes in the mortgage and property markets, London homeowners and city dwellers are faced with difficult decisions to make on their job and lifestyle opportunities. Do they stay put or make the move to find more space and creature comforts of a cosmopolitan lifestyle? Despite the uncertainty, many experts are advising that now is a good time to look at moving and to secure the best choice of property for 2025.

From urban postcodes to market towns and villages, hamlets to commuter favourites, Muddy Stilettos Top 300 Best Places To Live provides readers with invaluable recommendations that home buyers need, handpicked by Muddy's highly trusted editors, each living and bringing up their families in the 35 'Muddy' counties across the UK, and giving home owners the inside track that they won't get from mortgage lenders or other sources.

Each detailed online feature, focusing on an individual village, town or city in our Top 300, comes with location map, up-to-date information on desirable properties available for sale and on-the-ground insights into schools and nurseries, shopping, culture, restaurants and bars plus the all-important commuting journeys for those still traveling into London and major conurbations.

Hero Brown, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Muddy Stilettos says, "When people decide to move, they're searching for more than just a house - they want a home, a lifestyle that works for them and their family and a long-term investment too. Our 2025 'Top 300 Best Places To Live' guide will give them that extra reassurance they need to make their search easier in these difficult economic times. We've built our reputation on our first-hand knowledge of the most exciting, vibrant places to go and things to do outside London. Now, with London, Yorkshire and Cheshire added to the guide and new information added on important considerations such as nursery education and nearby culture, the 2025 list is a natural step for us to continue to expand our authority in this area. Combined with up to the minute listings of desirable properties, we think it's a unique reference point in a turbulent yet hopefully resilient property market."

James Cleland, Head of Country Business at Knight Frank comments: "With hybrid working promoting greater flexibility and an enhanced work-life balance, hotspots are emerging nationwide as the demand for more space continues. When it comes to where to live, more than ever people want a vibrant and tight-knit community. It's a trend that deepened during the pandemic and is likely to remain a leading factor for those relocating. Excellent schools, ease of commuting, and access to local amenities continue to be significant factors.

When planning a move, research is crucial to finding a location that aligns with your lifestyle. The Muddy Stilettos Best Places to Live 2025 directory is an invaluable source of information to guide these decisions. Knight Frank is excited to collaborate with the team over the coming year to provide this useful insight."
