Property for sale in Motherwell

Once a collection of agricultural villages, Motherwell developed into the area's most important town during the industrial revolution and was the largest centre of steel production in Scotland for around 100 years. The closure of Ravenscraig signalled the end of large scale steel making in Scotland. During the past decade, Motherwell has recovered from the high unemployment and economic decline brought about by this collapse of heavy industry. A number of call centres and business parks such as Strathclyde Business Park have set up in the region, and subsequently Motherwell has become a thriving town, and is becoming ever more popular with both new home buyers and first time buyers alike. Local estate agents in Motherwell have a good selection of property for sale, including semi-detached houses, townhouses, terraced houses, apartments and country homes.
