Bristol is not one market. The city is hilly and dense, with Georgian terraces in Clifton, Cotham and Kingsdown, flats around the Floating Harbour, and Victorian streets in Redland, Southville and Bishopston.
Filton and Kingswood are in South Gloucestershire, Bath is in Bath and North East Somerset, and Weston-super-Mare is in North Somerset. Each has its own council, so planning rules and buyer habits change at every border.
Bath adds Georgian stone, listed buildings, tourism and students. Weston-super-Mare has a holiday and retirement mix. Residents' parking and the central Clean Air Zone shape which vans can go where.
Estate agents follow redress scheme rules (the schemes that handle complaints about agents), heating engineers hold Gas Safe registration and electricians work to Part P. VAT is 20 per cent on our fees.
