Rightmove says demand for homes in the village rose by an eye-watering 126 per cent this January compared to the same month in 2021. In addition, average asking prices have gone up by around six per cent.
The south west has seen higher house price growth than other regions in the past year or so, with prices up by over 11 per cent year on year. In Bristol, specifically, first-time buyers are now forced to spend, on average, £296,792 on their first home.
