Savills Ipswich

Suffolk is a picturesque county of coastal hotspots, a vibrant arts scene and rich agricultural heritage coupled with a thriving modern business culture.

Set in the county town of around 120,000 inhabitants, Savills Ipswich office provides a wide range of services for a diverse local property market including residential, lettings and new homes, development, commercial and healthcare advice as well as rural estate management and farm sales.

With its pretty villages and characteristic pink houses, the area continues to appeal to a wide audience. The East Anglian skies and glorious Constable country add to the charm. The desirable villages of Dedham, East Bergholt, Long Melford, Lavenham, Woodbridge and the Naylands are all popular choices. The coastal towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh are sought after weekend retreats and London money is a major influence.

Increasingly buyers are relocating from the capital and the South East, knowing they can maintain links with their London working base. Ipswich, Manningtree and Colchester are all popular commuter stations.

Ipswich’s economy is varied. AXA and Willis are two of the town’s largest employers while businesses involved in transport and logistics view it as a strategic location, just a few miles from Felixstowe, one of Europe’s largest container ports.

Recent developments include the transformation of Ipswich into a university town with the opening of the University Campus Suffolk, as well as major urban regeneration centred around the historic docks.
