It's no secret that Bristol is a desirable city for house hunters right now. A newly released study confirms this, revealing that property prices in Bristol have had the ninth-biggest rise in the UK over the last ten years.
Currently, the average house price in Bristol is more than £338,000 whereas a decade ago, the average cost was around £174,0000.
