With 26.7% of homes in Boston being semi-detached, this property type has long been a staple of most British towns and cities. Across the UK, the proportion of semi-detached properties varies significantly by region:
* North East: 40.0%
* North West: 36.8%
* Yorkshire and The Humber: 37.6%
* West Midlands: 37.6%
* East Midlands: 35.7%

* London: 19.3%
* South East: 29.2%
* South West: 27.4%
* Wales: 31.8%
* Scotland: 22.4%
Historically, the semi-detached house gained prominence in the 20th century, offering a perfect middle ground between affordability and space. These homes remain a favourite for families, offering both privacy and practicality, often with gardens and off-street parking. For landlords, they are an attractive investment due to their enduring popularity with tenants.
For homeowners and landlords in Boston, this high proportion of semi-detached homes provides a strong market for both selling and letting. With demand for such properties remaining steady, understanding the dynamics of Boston housing stock compared to other areas can offer valuable insights for those considering their next move in the property market.

Vendoors Estate Agents (my office) has just received a call from a phone number starting 01205.
It is a scam call, warning of high charges to your Amazon account.
No idea how they did it but the number that showed they were calling from was actually a number I had dialled this morning and was a local trustworthy business.

I just wanted to inform our clients, customers of this scam, please also make sure you let any vulnerable people you know.
Scammers are the absolute worst, I know they often prey on the vulnerable too.
PLEASE PLEASE Share, let’s protect our vulnerable and our community. Thank you.

MEANWHILE IN MONTANA: A handful of cows found their way into a newly built home and lived in it for a month before being noticed.
The family was moving from Washington. The Aunt was supposed to be checking on the place, but she didn’t. A rancher had filed a report about missing some cattle and even checked their barn, but not the house. They think a bad storm sent them looking for cover. They also think the storm blew a door in or somehow one of the cows nudged one open.
