Cumbrae one of the most searched locations on Rightmove

On Wed 12 January, The Guardian reported that Cumbrae was number 8 in the nation’s online property searches in 2021.

Rightmove said these findings reflected “changed buyer preferences” in 2021, as people working from home searched for their ideal homes near coastal areas.

Alan Hill, Partner at Robert Duff & Co, commented: “It’s not surprising that Cumbrae’s beautiful environment with its sea, sand and spectacular mountain-views draws attention. Cumbrae is Scotland’s most accessible island, just an hour from its largest city and airport, making it a natural contender as a place to live. We’ve seen increased interest in the island from families and people wanting to move here to work remotely, taking advantage of our superfast broadband and, of course, the opportunity to kayak at lunch time!”
