| About the Area The East Midlands in particular is a rapidly developing part of the country. The attractions include first class road and rail communications, excellent schooling, high levels of employment, plenty of space and a pretty rural environment. Demand for property to rent continues to outstrip supply at all levels due to relatively low rents compared with other parts of the country. Despite this returns on capital expenditure are high because property prices are correspondingly low.
