    Bath and the rise of the long-distance commuter towns

    There was a time when most people commuting into London were looking for somewhere no more than an hour away, door to door – but no more.  With the rise of hybrid working post-pandemic, many will now contemplate a journey of up to two hours, if they only have to travel in three or four days a week.  So what does this mean for homebuyers and local property markets in the affected towns and cities, such as Bath?  Property commentator Anne Ashworth hears from Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace, and Matthew Leonard of Winkworth’s Bath office.

    The increasing impact of good schools on local house prices - with a focus on Farnham

    The presence of a good school has always had an impact on an area’s housing market – but with Labour pledging to impose 20% VAT on private school fees if it wins the election, the effect could become even greater.  In this episode Winkworth Chief Executive Dominic Agace talks to property commentator Anne Ashworth about the concerns now being raised by homebuyers, and the impact on house prices in favoured locations.  Some streets are now selling at a substantial premium - as an example, Henry Griffin from Winkworth Farnham tells us about the impact the schools debate is having on the market in his part of Surrey.  We get the bigger picture and some smart tips for parents from Melanie Sanderson, Managing Editor of the Good Schools Guide.

    What homebuyers really want in a garden

    For many homebuyers, this month’s Chelsea Flower Show has once again turned the spotlight on the garden – do we still want paving and formality, or is the natural look back?  Are artificial lawns a huge convenience, or a complete no-no?  The pandemic heightened the British passion for gardens and the trend has continued.  In this episode, property commentator Anne Ashworth is joined by Dominic Agace, Chief Executive of Winkworth to see what’s changed in buyers’ preferences.  Charles Erwin of Winkworth Notting Hill tells us about the impact the area’s famous garden squares have had on the local market, and Joanna Archer of Joanna Archer Garden Design gives us an insight into the latest trends in design and planting.
