‘The 12-month outlook for the UK property market is muddled. It’s key for mortgage providers to support the main “engines” of the market – first-time buyers and mid-market – through greater liquidity and affordability. Our view is that, although personal debt needs to be contained and reduced, the lending costs that are currently throttling the market will start to soften.’ Stephanie McMahon, Head of Research

Meysey Hampton Manor, Meysey Hampton Gloucestershire GL7 A wonderful Grade II Listed manor house dating principally from the early 18th century with later alterations. We sold Meysey Hampton Manor to the present owner in 2003 and they have carried out a sympathetic programme of restoration to create an elegant, comfortable family home with reception rooms that are all south facing. There are seven bedrooms and five bathrooms and the period outbuildings include an impressive coach house and a large stone barn. The manor sits in 1.7 acres of walled gardens, which include a swimming pool and a tennis court.
