Properties in Wells

Chard in Somerset has been identified as the leading property hotspot in the UK, with an impressive 123% increase in house prices from 2023.

The town's average house price now stands at £245,202, according to Rightmove. This significant rise places Chard at the forefront of Rightmove's list, ahead of Hilton in Derbyshire and Padgate in Cheshire, which both saw an increase of 112%.

After a period of falling house prices, it seems the new year has seen a positive upturn in the property market. Reports are suggesting that prices are set to rise again in 2024, thanks to easing inflation and a confidence boost from a General Election which is likely to have property as a key agenda item. 

So if you've had your house sale on pause over the past couple of years, now could be a good time to list your home for sale.
