Relocation between Northampton and Coventry

Northampton has grown fast since the 1960s. The population rose from 105,421 in 1961 to 157,217 in 1981, with 15,655 new homes built between 1970 and 1985. It reached 212,069 by 2011. Places such as Boughton, Moulton, Overstone and Rothersthorpe count as part of its urban area.

The town has 170 parks and open spaces covering about 1,880 acres, Abington Park among the best loved. Northampton College is one of the largest further education colleges in the South Midlands.

If the new job is in Coventry, Humber Hub is about 32 miles away from Northampton and a few miles from most of the city's employers. Every house comes furnished, with the bills and council tax paid.

Stays run for up to twelve months, so a family can sell in Northampton and buy in Coventry without a hotel in between. An employer covering the move can be invoiced directly.

Grange Park, Harpole and Cogenhoe sat just outside the built-up area in 2011, when the mean age in the town was 37.1, younger than the English average of 39.3.

The North Gate bus station connects the town with Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough and Milton Keynes.
