Digitally connected

Technology is transforming our lives and enabling professionals and entrepreneurs to choose where they work. Superfast broadband makes working remotely and commuting to the city for client meetings, more than feasible. Work from a café, home, an open workspace or your laptop by the beach.

09

Affordable living and low operating costs

East Sussex offers space for breathing both literally and metaphorically. Larger living and commercial property and studio space are surprisingly affordable compared to many parts of the South East. This is attracting enterprises looking to create jobs, not just for themselves, but for others too, helping support jobs in local communities and grow our economy. The average cost of a residential dwelling is £274,000, 57% cheaper than London (£478,853), according to the UK House Price Index, April 2018.
