Wakefield
The city of Wakefield features a large population of 325,000 and it's located in West Yorkshire in the North of England. Like a great deal of the north was, Wakefield has a historical past within the mining industry and throughout the Seventies had as many as 21 sites within the area. The closures in the Eighties left a large unemployment burden on the city and its surrounding areas but today Wakefield prospers from a below-average level. House costs have substantially increased from an average of £50,000 to £130,000 between 1998 and 2003. To keep your Wakefield house within the top end of the market be sure to employ reliable tradespeople for any house improvements required.
