Searching for a Warminster property?

Searching for a Warminster property? Whether a first time buyer or a retired couple for most people the search for a new home today begins on the internet.

Melvin Davis of Davis and Latcham, estate agents in

Warminster ‘s Market Place,  says  “Choosing a home is a very visual process and photos and a virtual tour on the

screen can save a great deal of time. 

There are over 40 property search engines 

and they produce  facts so

detailed that they can not only tell the number of properties that have sold in

your road but also give the average price.”

For instance from http://www.findaproperty.com/media/house-prices/FindaProperty_HPA_Index_Jan10.pdf  it is possible to discover that the average

price of properties sold in the south west in Jan 2010 was £239.460.

If you’d like to know the average price being asked for a 3

bedroomed house in Warminster visit http://www.findaproperty.com/house-prices.html 

It is even possible to look back at the history of property

sales in a particular street - http://www.findaproperty.com/soldsearch.aspx?edid=00&salerent=0&spnew=0&sptype=0&spyrsld=0&sppostd=BA12&sp=9&sporder=0&spreverse=0

  gives the average price a property sold for

over a period of the past nine years.  34

properties in Westbury Road

were sold in that period at an average price of £297.841.

 Mr

Davis says the company is enjoying a buoyant period.  “Warminster prices have never been

particularly high so they have not suffered a great drop.  There are a large number of retired people

living here and with no big industry nearby the effects of the recession have

not been felt by large numbers of people being made redundant.”

He believes that Warminster has always been a popular place to

live. “It is surrounded by wonderful countryside and the nearby A303 and A350

mean it has access to a good road system. The town is half way between Bath and Salisbury and has

direct train access to Bristol and London.”

 According to Davis and Latcham, areas in Warminster in particular demand are

the Boreham and Westbury Roads, The Downlands 

and Plants Green,  but whichever road is sought after the search today will more then likely begin on the web.
