Market INSIGHT

MARKET INSIGHT IN BATHWelcome to the latest edition of Local View, our seasonal update on the property markets that matter to you. Along with a brief review of activity in Bath, we have also included a preview of just some of the beautiful properties we currently have available. Please contact your local team for more information and to find out what other opportunities we can offer.

The future of Bath is bright with massive regeneration and redevelopment taking place all over the city the likes of which have not been seen for many years. Investment in the city continues to strengthen and tourism remains very strong. This last year has seen a steady stream of buyers coming to the area from all over the UK and abroad which seems set to continue. As London house prices continue to rise disproportionately to the rest of the country many young professional families are being priced out of the areas they would aspire to live in. This is largely down to foreign investment in London property and has created somewhat of an exodus to cities like Bath which can offer many of the advantages of London without some of the disadvantages.

We are seeing more and more buyers from London and the Home Counties; we also get a lot of expats returning from abroad wanting to settle in and around Bath. A continued improvement in confidence amongst buyers, may well turn the market from a buyers’ market to a sellers’ market during this time, although with that said, the worst mistake a vendor can make is ignore comparable evidence and be persuaded that their property is worth more than it is.

“Bath’s city market has been particularly vibrant for some time now with people moving into the area from all over the United Kingdom and abroad. We have particularly strong links with the London market which makes up a large percentage of our buyers. Young families in particular are attracted to Bath for the lifestyle, the fantastic choice of schools and the more sedate pace of life.”

“I am writing to thank you and your team for the excellent job you did selling my property in difficult market conditions. In particular, I commend the friendliness and excellent market knowledge of you and your team. Whoever picks up the phone at Knight Frank, there is always a friendly and knowledgeable person available to answer any queries and I appreciated the regular and informed communication that we received from everyone in your office. I feel we received considered and pragmatic advice on how best to achieve the desired result and then everyone put their best effort into making it happen. The whole process was handled smoothly and with professional efficiency. I have no hesitation in recommending Knight Frank to other potential vendors (indeed I already have!) and I would be happy to give a verbal reference if any of your clients would like to speak to someone.”
