As an agent in the Warfield property market, I believe it is important to offer local homeowners a balanced and realistic view of both the Warfield and national property markets.

When Britain voted to leave the European Union in June 2016, many experts predicted serious problems for the UK housing market. Forecasts warned of falling house prices, reduced buyer confidence and a prolonged slowdown in property transactions. Yet a decade later, the story has been very different.

There is a quiet unspoken problem sitting inside the Bicester property market.

For some homebuyers, the kitchen is the deal maker. For others, it is the number of bedrooms, the school catchment or the distance to the railway station. Yet for a sizeable group of buyers, the garden matters just as much as the house itself. Across Warfield and its surrounding villages, there are 240 homes with large gardens.
