COTSWOLD


Regency-style properties are in high demand


Jack Turner, Perry Bishop and Leaders’ Cheltenham Lettings Negotiator


JANUARY is always a busy time for the lettings market and this year is proving to be no exception. Demand for rented property in the Cotswolds remains high, with plenty of people looking for good quality homes to rent right now. Despite the recent introduction of phase


two of the government’s Help to Buy scheme, which is certainly helping some people buy their own homes, we expect this demand to remain strong. This is partly due to high property prices, meaning even a five percent deposit is beyond the reach of many, but it’s also due to the fact many people choose to rent because of the flexibility and convenience it offers. This is especially the case in Cheltenham,


where we have a strong stream of applicants through the door eager. Regency-style houses and conversions remain the most popular, with three and four bedroom town houses in high demand. While Cheltenham can boast a significant


number of these types of property, there are some highly desirable areas within the town


where these are most sought after. The clutch of roads around the Montpellier and Tivoli areas of the town centre are lined with some fantastic Regency properties, but the most requested area is Leckhampton to the south of the town centre. Close to a number of well-regarded and


high performing schools – Naunton Park and Leckhampton Primary - three and four bedroom town houses in Leckhampton always let very quickly, with monthly rents averaging around £1,500. Demand can often outstrip supply in this area meaning a buy-to- let property here is an attractive proposition for any aspiring landlord, while the fantastic array of shops, cafes and restaurants on hand at nearby Bath Road are another big draw for would-be tenants. Our experienced team has an unrivalled


knowledge of the lettings market in Cheltenham and we’re always happy to help. We’re looking forward to another busy year! Perry Bishop & Leaders are specialist local
