Turns out that your IT degree might be useful after all. According to a recently released study Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow and Liverpool will be influential tech hotspots for the future. The research conducted by online estate agents HouseSimple ranked each city by average house price, number of digital jobs and digital tech sector growth potential.

Manchester came out on top in the rankings, with Glasgow second and Leeds third.

A spokesman said that: “With slightly higher average property prices than Manchester (£171,052), but the second highest tech sector growth potential (92 per cent) of any of the regional tech hubs” Leeds has a lot of potential.
