Garrington Property Finders are an independent organisation. They have recently presented an update to the Best Places to Live 2025 in England and Wales. This was based on five selection criteria :–
- Natural Beauty
- Wellbeing
- Heritage and Culture
- Schools and Jobs
- Value for Money
Local towns feature highly on the list, which includes more than 1400 places.
Epsom is #2 on the list
Ewell is #8 on the list
Ashtead is #10 on the list
Tadworth is #20 on the list
There is a high risk that the natural beauty (green spaces) in East Surrey will be damaged by plans of UK government to build thousands of houses in the area. There will also be pressure on well being and schools. The quality of life will be reduced significantly.
The link below lists results of the 20 best places to live in England and Wales.
