House prices in Bristol have been on a pretty steep rise over the last 20 years. It’s a city that once you buy property it feels like a dead certainty that your house will increase in value.
The main problem is actually being able to afford to get on the property ladder in the first place. And while the Bristol property market is still very much in demand, it seems that house prices - at least nationally - have started to fall.
According to the Nationwide Building Society, the average house price fell by 3.1 per cent year-on-year in March, marking the largest annual decline since July 2009.
