By the way, you probably want to factor in at least 15k above asking price to get any house in Bristol at the moment. I'm looking in St George area, and all the victorian terraces are going for 15-20k above asking. Probably more in St Werbs
EDIT: as a FTB, potentially worth waiting until you know what's happening with stamp duty? You don't benefit (much) from the current holiday, but it's definitely causing a huge price inflation at the moment.
psb-
@roythamez absolutely agree on stamp duty. I don't benefit at all from it - it hinders me by putting prices up as you say. There was no stamp duty for FTBs before. I need to wait until the current holiday ends really unless the right house came up now
Shit news on the premium though. Did kind of expect something like that if there are multiple offers going in on a house within a week of it going up

@lemonade ah amazing! I moved to Bristol in September, live near Ashley stores atm on Albany Road. I think St Werbs is an ace are from what I have seen so far. Easy ride to work out in Filton, not Clifton/Redland prices, good pubs and amenities. Not a new build kind of person though the Dye Works development looks interesting.
HMU if you ever want to go for a road or mtb ride :)
