Cotswold Residential Market - Stow-on-the-Wold – Helen Whitfield
The residential market around Stow-on-the-Wold has been incredibly active during this current period of political uncertainty, and there have been some notable sales. Many properties are still selling privately under competitive bidding. That being said, the headline guide price needs to be realistic, and the best results are still on the turnkey properties.
We are seeing an increased number of second and investment homes being marketed, as questions arise over future tax and planning amendments, as well as the Renters Reform legislation.
Pubs and restaurants opening in the Cotswolds are always a draw to visitors and locals alike. In between our three offices is the most recent addition to ‘The Pig’ hotel group. As well as reopening Barnsley House Hotel this month, they have acquired ‘The Village Pub,’ which has also reopened to much acclaim.

As we creep down towards Halloween, lots of people really compete to dress their properties in the ghoulish themes. A local farm, White House Farm in Kiddington are hosting their first ‘pick your own pumkins’, a great autumn activity.
Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park has Pick your Own Pumpkins on their Pumpkin Patch throughout October Cotswold Pumpkin Day & Nights - Pick Your Own (cotswoldfarmpark.co.uk)

Currently, in the UK, on average one in three house sales fall through. This is often due to surprises during a conveyance, and buyer fatigue at the length the process can take. There are simple steps Sellers and Buyers can take in advance to help ensure the process is as smooth as possible. The key approach is to reduce as many ‘sales irritants’ as you can and to be well prepared in advance. Unexpected matters will inevitably arise, but with plenty of preparation these will be easier to resolve.
