As the nights are starting to draw in, this can only mean one thing; autumn is well on the way! The school holidays are over and normal day to day life has resumed. The window of opportunity for selling your property is now up and running once again.

What’s all the fuss about?

It seems that everyone is certainly reading from the same book, as there has been a huge rise of house prices within the West Midlands Region. Rightmove have a fantastic feature on their website which reflects the house prices in certain regions. This allows you to reflect and compare what the property market is doing now and how it has been performing in your area.

According to the latest figures, provided by Rightmove Index housing prices, the West Midlands has an increase of 6.9%  to house prices, compared to last year. This is a huge rise and is more than double the national average. Property is hot here and it is selling fast. An explanation for this is that the area is considered as being a hot spot area. This means that the price you pay for the property also reflects within the area. The West Midlands has a lot of good schools, shops and businesses which means that lifestyles in the West Midlands are flourishing.

What does the price increase mean for the west midlands?
