Why the South West?

With its high value, low crime rate and unspoilt landscape, the South West of England is a prime location for property investment.

Made up of the rural counties of Bristol, Cornwall, Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon, and Gloucestershire, newly built properties in the South West have seen huge price increases over the past 5-6 years. This has been driven by incredibly high levels of demand and a low supply of quality homes and continuation is anticipated.
