“Hull is seeing a revival which
could put it back on the map”

I

t is fair to say that Hull has not
always had the best press as a
place to live, with stories about
unemployment and all the social
deprivation and crime which goes
with it, the city was voted worst place
to live in the UK in 2003.
But with Hull set to receive half-

a-billion pounds of investment into
its green energy and port industries
and host the City of Culture in 2017 it
is seeing a revival which could put it
back on the map.
The development of Alexandria
Dock by Siemens’ wind turbine facility
will mean more than 1,000 jobs alone

and supply chain businesses in the
form of enterprise zone warehousing,
manufacturing and business and
leisure parks in surrounding areas will
create many more.
So, Landlord Voice takes a look
at what the city can offer its new
workforce in terms of accommodation.

Victoria Dock
Just a ten-minute walk from Hull City
Centre, right next to Victoria Park and
with direct access to the A63 and onto
the M62, this area is ideal for young
professionals.
The quiet, new build-style area

surrounds the old Victoria
Dock, which was built to
accommodate a burgeoning
trade during the 19th
century.
A two-bedroomed, twobathroomed apartment will
cost an average of £105,000.
