Property development
in Wiltshire.
Wiltshire is a large rural county with development focused around the garrison town of Salisbury, the M4 corridor town of Swindon, and the commuter-belt market towns of Marlborough, Devizes, and Chippenham. The county's military presence - with significant bases at Bulford, Tidworth, and Larkhill - creates steady housing demand. Swindon is the county's largest commercial centre with significant office-to-residential conversion potential.
The Wiltshire property market recorded 6,343 residential transactions over the past 12 months, with a county-wide median sale price of £302,500 - £18k above the UK average. Prices have shown growth, with a year-on-year change of +0.2% across the county's 8 principal towns.
New-build completions totalled 119 over the same period, representing 1.9% of total transactions. This signals an active development pipeline with proven buyer demand.
