The southwest has been one of the star performers in the decade-long
property boom that has just come to a juddering halt. The region
provided the three best-performing coastal towns in England and Wales
last year. Bath and Bristol saw small dips, with price growth rates
still over 10 per cent.
The retirement sector, a major part of the housing industry, is stable
because most of its buyers are down-sizing from elsewhere, so bring
plenty of equity from their old home whilst the mid- to low-end of the
market is in the doldrums.
Whilst mortgages will be harder to obtain prices will drop and there
are many great deals on offer. A good mortgage adviser is a must for
buyers; they will source all the information from lenders on what is
available on a buyer’s behalf.
Just a few good reasons why the South West remains a really good place to live -
Bristol was voted one of the most popular places to live in Britain and
voted one of the top three most popular cities with Bath emerging as
one of the safest places to live coming fifth in a recent survey by
insurance company Endsleigh. (May 30th 2008) Data showed that People
living in the South West are more likely to live to the age of 75 than
those living elsewhere in England and Wales. Men in the South West now
have a 70% chance of living to 75 while Women have an 80% chance. This
compares with a 62% chance for men and a 74% chance for Women living in
the North East
Regardless of the dip in the market many people will still move with
their job or for many other reasons. Buyers look at location, schools,
accessibility to motorways, train stations etc.,so you can see why the
What’s on Property guide is a must and an important information source
to buyers and sellers alike.
