The main drivers for the increase in house purchases in the Highlands and Islands are disillusionment with urban life and the availability of high speed communications.
What with high housing prices, pollution, crime and congestion there are plenty of disincentives for living in cities these days. Couples with young families see moving away to a rural area like the Highlands and Islands as an opportunity to escape the urban sprawl and raise their children in a safe, high quality environment. Rural schools also tend to have smaller class sizes.
These couples typically have skills they can transport with them to their new location or see an opportunity to set up in business.
The Highlands and Islands are well served with high speed broadband communications, road, rail and air links. The technology to work remotely is available and widely used. Indeed, teleworking is becoming an increasingly important part of many Highland and Island economies.
