West England showing property recovery
The West Country is leading the property recovery in England with parts of Somerset, Wiltshire and Devon showing positive growth, according to a new report.
A comparison of property prices performance in the last six months compared with the last half of 2008, also shows that the north is struggling the most but affluent areas like Cheshire and Suffolk are also amongst the worse performers.
North Somerset leads the way with prices up 1.4% this year followed by Wiltshire, up 1.24%, Plymouth up 0.77%, Bath up 0.39% and Oxfordshire, up 0.08%, according to the report from Zoopla.co.uk, a leading house price information website.
