HOUSE PRICES ARE RISING

House prices are rising in Bristol and South Gloucestershire, according to figures from the Land Registry, the Government Agency which monitors the sale of houses. The average house in Bristol now costs £169,425 - an increase of 2.4 per cent over the last 12 months - while homes in South Gloucestershire are even more expensive at £176,839 - an increase of 1.4 per cent over the last year. The nationwide average currently stands at £162,606 - which is an increase of one per cent over the last 12 months. "These figures show that house prices in Bristol and South Gloucestershire are performing better than most other parts of the country," said Adam Offer, managing director of estate agents Besley Hill, who have 16 offices throughout the area. "Limited supply and increased demand will result in property values in this part of the country continuing to rise during the coming year, indicating that now is a good time to buy."
