Movement of population to and from a certain area and the speed with which house prices rise are strongly linked.
This enables some people to have a head start when deciding where the best property investments are to be found, so new figures reveal.
Research from Propertyfinder.com clearly shows a 73% correlation between population growth as well as house price rises, with this figure going up to 94% outside the north east.
The strength of regional housing markets is due to population movement. Should it be potential homebuyers wishing to buy a home of their own, or property investors providing rental accommodation to newcomers, housing demand in the most popular regions has ensured prices go up fastest.
As such population trends continue, the research indicates that the best performing regions, attracting most migrants, are going to experience house prices outperforming in the medium term.
The main places people are looking to move to from outside the UK are the South East, London and the east of England.
Should you already be living in Britain the most popular places to live in are Wales, the south-west and the East Midlands.
Household formation is also increasing demand for housing.
