MELKSHAM has been named as one of the 10 best places to sell homes in the UK.
The town’s appearance in the ‘hottest UK property market’ countdown comes as more homebuyers look to escape to countryside and coastal areas – reflecting a trend for less-centralised living following the Covid-19 pandemic and a year of ‘staying at home’.
According to online real estate website, Rightmove, just under 78% of homes put on the market in Melksham this year have been sold – subject to contract – with an average asking price of £276,096. Melksham comes in at number 10 in Rightmove’s countdown with Cornish town Newquay topping the list.
“This is no surprise that buyers value all that the idyllic market town of Melksham has to offer,” said Amanda Andrews, residential sales manager at local estate agents, Kavanaghs.
