Welcome to Wright Property Search

We do not sell property; we are a property search consultancy independent of any estate agency. We act solely on behalf of a restricted number of non conflicting clients looking for country houses in South West Wiltshire, Dorset and Southern parts of Somerset. Adrian Wright started Wright Property Search in 2004 and is regarded as one of the most experienced buying agents in the West Country.

Market comment Winter 2024/25        "Seasonal Lull"

Activity and supply was slow before the budget and there are few signs of any change. This could, in part, be simply down to seasonal norms, time will tell. There are still many buyers in the market but the number of transactions at the higher end have dropped off. This could be down to some very ambitious guide prices!

The only real residential property related surprise in the budget, was the Chancellor’s announcement that the stamp duty surcharge on second home purchases in England will rise from 3% to 5%. Despite this I suspect market conditions we revert back to something approaching normal before the Spring. Where a property is priced sensibly it will sell, so buyers need to be ready to view.
