Recent data from Compare My Move reveals that 71.2% of inquiries for moving services to Weston-Super-Mare in 2022 originated from Bristol residents. The comparison website attributes this trend to the escalating house prices in Bristol and the expansion of Weston towards the M5 through new developments. As property prices in various UK cities were compared with those in areas 30 minutes away, it became evident that Weston’s appeal to Bristol residents was largely driven by the significant difference in housing costs.
Dave Sayce, founder and director of Compare My Move, emphasized the ongoing attractiveness of Weston-Super-Mare, noting, “As house prices continue to rise in Bristol, we expect to see this number rise for 2023 as the main selling point of moving to Weston-Super-Mare is the reduction in price.”
Furthermore, with Bristol experiencing an influx of movers due to its transport links to London, the shift to Weston-Super-Mare offers not only affordability but also proximity to Bristol, making it an ideal choice for those looking to capitalize on the housing market.
