Ainslie Henderson Sales Manager at Caledonia Bureau explains why Paisley and Renfrewshire have recently become such hot property. As someone who was born and bred in Renfrewshire, there is barely a street name or style of property I’m unfamiliar with, I’ve been in the estate agency business for 21 years and have witnessed first-hand many trends and changes not least Paisley’s ascent through the property ranks.

Paisley is a town with a strong sense of pride. It’s steeped in vibrant culture and full of historic landmarks. It recently raised its profile again with its bi for City of Culture 2021. This has seen visits to the town and surrounding areas rise by 17% over the last year outperforming the rest of the Glasgow City Region.

People have realised Paisley’s potential and in 2018 we have seen activity in the housing market and house prices rise. More and more people from outside the Renfrewshire area are moving into our towns after learning about the difference in value for money between a Glasgow and Renfrewshire postcode. With bus, train and motorway networks allowing easy access to surrounding areas, there is no real reason not to live here.

Paisley has rediscovered itself with this ongoing regeneration. Its significant heritage not only makes it worth visiting but also a wonderful place to live in.

Whether your personal tastes drive you to a traditional tenement flat or a modern home, you’ll find a broad range of choice in Paisley.
