Annual property price growth in the South West and Wales is significantly stronger than a year ago, as the shortage of property to buy continues to support prices. Agents across the South West and Wales report the current sales to stock ratio remains high (RICS), with properties selling in just 32 and 35 days respectively (Rightmove).
Double-digit property price growth is evident in 16 areas of the West of England and South Wales. Blaenau Gwent and Cotswold are currently the strongest performing areas.
It is estimated 880,000 property sales took place across the UK in the first six months of 2021, the highest half year total ever recorded and 50% higher than the same period in 2019 (HMRC). It is anticipated sales will top 1.5 million over the course of the year. Buyers have been spurred on by a desire for change and financial savings as a result of taxation ‘holidays’, with over 60% paying no tax on their purchase.
In the West of England and South Wales the most active housing markets over the past year have been in Cotswold and Cheltenham.
The search for space continues to drive many buying decisions. As businesses adopt more flexible ways of working, blended working patterns are set to become the norm for many, and personal wellbeing has shot up the agenda. The local environment, gardens, greater internal square footage and a demarcated space to work from home, all continue to be deemed more important property features in a new home.
This homely four-bedroom cottage is tucked away in a quiet spot that overlooks the majestic summit of May Hill and is surrounded by an immaculate garden that boasts a pond, a pergola, meandering pathways, a greenhouse, and a variety of fruit trees, including fig, pear and apple.
This beautifully appointed, executive detached residence is positioned on a private gated site of only three other properties, known as Llandennis Court, just a short walk to bus links to the City Centre, Cyncoed village and Roath Park Lake, and is within the school catchment for Rhydypenau Primary and Cardiff High School.
Set elevated, with views of Bristol and beyond, this four-bedroom cottage comes to the market having undergone renovation and is now presented in great condition. The location is great for commuters, with both city and country lifestyles on your door step.
