Property Development in County Durham
County Durham combines the cathedral city of Durham — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — with former mining communities that offer some of England's most affordable property. Durham University creates strong student housing demand in the city, while the wider county's regeneration zones in Bishop Auckland and Newton Aycliffe provide development opportunities at accessible values. The A1(M) corridor connects the county to Newcastle and Teesside.
