BRADFORD has been ranked as the fifth most sought-after city in the UK, a new study has claimed.

Home insurance website Comparethemarket said the city is one of the most regularly searched places on Google by people who are looking to relocate.

The study was based on Google searches, which included phrases linked to living and relocating, made between December 2021 and November 2022.

The more searches made in relation to a city, the higher it was ranked in the report.

There were 13,130 searches linked to Bradford made in just under a year, putting it comfortably within the top 10.

Manchester came second with 19,910 searches, while Birmingham (17,780) completed the top three.

Liverpool was fourth, with 17,960 searches.

Bradford was ranked just above its West Yorkshire neighbours, Leeds, which was ranked sixth in the study, with 13,050 searches.

Nottingham, Sheffield, Bristol and Glasgow completed the top ten.
