September is the beginning of the meteorological autumn (1st) and was called Gerstmonath by the Anglo Saxons (barley month). Michaelmas Day on the 29th is traditionally the last day of the harvest season.
Our usual quota of Bath property stats can be found below, including a link to our full spreadsheet (seven sections of property info tracked across multiple time points between March 2017 and Sept 2018). This month, I have compared September 2018 data with the same information we collected in Sept 2017.
Whether you’re looking to sell or buy in the city, you may find the following info of interest in understanding the latest ebbs and flows of the Bath property market. We’d always rather stick to providing as many facts as possible and leave the interpretation to the reader but please do contact us (info@madisonoakley.co.uk) if you’d like more information on any particular aspect of the article.
