England is a country in the British Isles bordering Scotland and Wales. The capital, London, on the River Thames, is home of Parliament, Big Ben and the 11th-century Tower of London. It’s also a multicultural, modern hub for the arts and business. Other large cities are Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and the university centres of Oxford and Cambridge.
The housing stock in England includes privately-owned and occupied houses and apartments, privately rented and local authority rented accommodation, and property managed by housing associations.
For the first time in recorded history, home ownership is falling. The private rented sector meanwhile is getting bigger and bigger. Estate agencies in England include small to large independents, small to large corporates, family-run and privately-owned agencies.
