Hi,
Don't have any direct experience of your area but in nearby North Dorset there has been a great deal of activity over recent weeks, many properties going SSTC/Under offer.
As far as I can tell, these are a broad cross section of properties around £225-260K bracket and not just BTL type properties. It tells a completely different story to some posts on HPC forum.
It seems there really is an upturn generally here, will it last though? I wish I knew as I am looking to buy in this area and don't know whether to go for it or hold for a few months.
