Market INSIGHT
MARKET INSIGHT IN BATH’s villagesWelcome 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 the villages surrounding 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.
In our view there has never been a better time to buy in the country, having had two tough years there is now real evidence the market is bouncing back with good activity across the region. For example, Potticks House had over 40 viewings in five weeks of marketing and was sold under competition to a cash buyer. As long as properties are sensibly priced, they will sell.
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.
SALES BY PRICE BAND
“The villages around Bath attract residents from all over the world who are drawn to a certain type of lifestyle. Outside London, Bath can boast one of the richest cultural scenes in the UK with its world heritage site, Bath Abbey, museums, restaurants and shopping.”

“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.”
