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 6,482 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 stability, with a year-on-year change of 0% across the county's 8 principal towns.
