The city’s geography supports efficient travel in all directions, making it well suited for operational field coverage and regional servicing.

Population & Demographics

Leicester has a population of approximately 370,000 within the city and over one million in the wider urban area. It has a young demographic due to the presence of De Montfort University and the University of Leicester. Central districts have high-density residential zones and a diverse cultural profile. The mix of transient student populations and stable suburban homeowners creates broad commercial demand across sectors.

Leicester’s economic base spans manufacturing and engineering, retail and hospitality, professional services, technology, and education.

Alongside these financial and contractual protections, it's important to note that our strong relationships with our sellers significantly reduce the risk of fraud commonly associated with private motorhome sales. We have personally visited our clients' homes, spent quality time with them, viewed the motorhomes, conducted comprehensive history checks, and fostered genuine connections. No fraudster would welcome such scrutiny, ensuring that motorhomes advertised through Motorhome Depot are authentic and trustworthy.
