In recent years the South West's housing market has closely tracked the performance of the UK-wide average.
The region's major cities have established themselves as stand out performers. Bristol and Exeter have seen strong price growth on the back of significant shortfalls in supply, while Plymouth has become one of the largest first-time buyer markets in the region.
However, political headwinds have stifled that growth story somewhat. This has left some sectors of the residential market presenting more inviting opportunities than others.
