“Demand continues to outstrip supply across the Cotswolds by a very high margin,” says Sam Butler of Butler Sherborn, the Cotswold property specialist.  “One property recently attracted 65 viewing requests within 48 hours of being launched; this resulted in eight good offers and consequently sold very quickly and over the asking price.

“We aren’t expecting demand to diminish any time soon, so now might be a particularly good time to move.”
