House prices in the south west grew at the third fastest rate in the UK from October 2005 to October 2006, growth which looks set to continue. From 1999 to 2005 prices increased by more than 100 per cent, a record beaten only by the south east. Recognised 'hotspots' include Bristol and Plymouth, both of which have large, ongoing regeneration programs. Elsewhere in the region, the continuing inflow of residents attracted by good schools, relatively low crime, and a high overall quality of life are likely to keep demand for rented property high.
